摘要

As a practical technique in mainstream video coding applications, rate control dominates important to ensure compression quality with limited bitrates constraints. However, most rate control methods mainly focus on objective quality while ignoring the perceptual quality improvement for human eyes. In this paper, we propose a two-stage rate control algorithm to optimize the perceptual quality at the frame encoding stage and the coding tree unit (CTU) encoding stage for high efficiency video coding (HEVC), respectively. Firstly, for the frame encoding stage, with inter-frame distortion dependency consideration, a frame-level rate control method is presented by adjusting the frame-level Lagrange multiplier adaptively with a preprocessing method. Secondly, for the CTU encoding stage, we propose a saliency-based CTU-level perceptual quality rate control algorithm, which employs CTU-level saliency weight to adjust the perceptual rate-distortion (R-D) model. We conduct the CTU-level rate control by an optimized Lagrange multiplier and quantization parameter (QP) to achieve perceptual quality optimization. Extensive experimental results reveal that, compared with state-of-the-art rate control methods on HEVC, our algorithm achieves significant perceptual coding performance with improved subjective visual quality.
