Abstract

See full text

A method and device for producing and delivering constant quality digital video bitstreams over channels of any bit-rate and variability are provided. The method and device may be applicable to any standardized video coding system, but preferably within the MPEG-4 standard. For constant capacity networks, the method and the device re-distribute the coded bits in a constant-quality variable bit-rate bitstream to construct a constant bit-rate bitstream. For variable capacity networks, the method and the device achieve constant quality as described by a metric that incorporate both spatial and temporal visual quality. The method and the device incorporate user, network, and channel parameters in controlling the bit-rate while encoding video material.
