Abstract

See full text

An offline quantization module is used to optimize a rate-distortion task. The offline quantization module calculates a quantization kernel for a range of computable block parameters and a range of rate-distortion slope values representing the rate and complexity of a coded video. A quantization kernel is utilized by an encoder application for content-adaptive quantization of transformed coefficients. The quantization kernel includes a block data model, a quality metric model, and an entropy coding model. The quantization kernel is suitable for existing and future coding standards. A rate-distortion slope selection process is performed on a per-frame basis for improved rate-distortion performance. The slope is selected by referring to the block model parameter value within the quantization kernel.
