Methods for rate control in an MB (macroblock) layer and apparatuses using the same

摘要

The invention introduces a method for rate control in an MB (macroblock) layer, including: calculating a prediction MAD (Mean Absolute Difference) of a current MB of a current frame according to a real MAD of a previous MB of a previous frame; calculating a real MAD of the current MB of the current frame; performing an adjustment procedure to adjust the prediction MAD of the current MB of the current frame according to the real MAD of the current MB of the current frame to obtain a final MAD of the current MB of the current frame; calculating a quantization parameter of the current MB of the current frame according to the final MAD of the current MB of the current frame; and outputting the quantization parameter of the current MB of the current frame to a quantizer.
