  • Dynamic coding rate control in a block-based video coding system
    Patent number: 5731835
    Abstract: A dynamic rate controller for a block-based video coding system. The rate controller is responsive to a scene cut flag generated by a scene cut detector. Once a scene cut flag is detected, the rate controller adjusts the bit budget for the frame following the scene cut before coding begins on that frame. Additionally, the rate controller establishes an optimal bit utilization profile that is compared to actual bit utilization, such that the bit allocation can be optimized as coding progresses.
