Description
Summary:Because of the inherent trade-off between source distortion and channel distortion in video transmission systems, joint optimization between bit-rate and distortion is still a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a method where the bit-rate allocation between source and channel encoder is controlled by the estimated end-to-end distortion at the encoder. The distortion estimation scheme is based on the adaptive forward linear predictor using least-mean square (LMS) algorithm. The forward predictor used the past values of actual end-to-end distortion to estimate the current distortion. The results show good estimate of end-to-end distortion and the proposed scheme improves video quality as compared to a standard rate control of H.264/AVC. The proposed scheme dynamically allocates the source encoder bits based on the estimated distortion.
