  • Abstract
    This paper presents a rate control scheme for H.264 by introducing the concept of basic unit and a linear prediction model. The basic unit can be a macroblock (MB), a slice, or a frame. It can be used to obtain a trade-off between the overall coding efficiency and the bits fluctuation. The linear model is used to solve the chicken and egg dilemma existing in the rate control of H.264. Both constant bit rate (CBR) and variable bit rate (VBR) cases are studied. Our scheme has been adopted by H.264.
