First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for rate controlling in video coding comprising:
- specifying a maximum bitrate and an average bitrate;
calculating an Inter frame size for meeting with the specified maximum bitrate, the Inter frame size being related to a position of the Inter frame relative to a position of an Intra frame; and
adjusting the calculated Inter frame size for meeting with both the specified maximum bitrate and the average bitrate.

Abstract
A method and device for improving rate controlling in video coding of sequences including a series of Inter frames separated by Intra frames, when a decoding delay is considered, comprise for each Inter frame of the series: computing a target frame size, computing a maximum buffer level related to a position of each Inter frame relative to a previous Intra frame and an upcoming Intra frame, and optimizing a transmission buffer level in response to the computed target frame size and the computed maximum buffer level.
