Abstract:

Although the perception based rate distortion optimization (RDO) and coding algorithms can improve subjective quality,they significantly decrease rate distortion performance.For the above questions,a saliency-based RDO method was proposed.Firstly,according to the relation between rate distribution and saliency features of coding tree unit in HEVC,a priori saliency-rate model was designed.Furthermore,the initial parameters of the model were determined.Secondly,the rate difference minimization rate distortion model was proposed,and then a calculation method of the adaptive Lagrangian multiplier was derived from the model.Finally,update mechanism of model parameters was designed.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can improve the subjective quality while it maintains rate distortion performance.

Key words: high efficiency video coding, rate distortion optimization, Lagrangian multiplier, saliency characteristic
