TARGETED BIT APPROPRIATIONS BASED ON PICTURE IMPORTANCE
First Claim
1. A method, comprising:
- providing plural representations of a single video signal, the video signal comprising a successive sequence of pictures, wherein one or more of the plural representations includes a respective sequence of latticed pictures, wherein each latticed picture in the one or more of the plural representations originates from a corresponding respective picture of the video signal, wherein the order of successive latticed pictures in the one or more of the plural representations of the video signal corresponds to the order of successive pictures in the video signal;
processing the plural representations based on a predetermined encoding strategy, the predetermined encoding strategy targeting an appropriate respective amount of bits to each of a plurality of the processed latticed pictures, each of the plurality of the processed latticed pictures having a respective picture importance; and
providing the plurality of processed latticed pictures in plural successive, non-overlapping, ordered segments in a single video stream.
