A modified method for intra-coding rate control in high efficiency video coding(HEVC)is proposed to solve lower coding efficiency of the rate-Lagrange(R-λ)model caused by distortion drift. The method considers the distortion relevance among the video areas. According to the intra-frame prediction coding principle
the distortion relevance among coding-blocks is firstly analyzed to obtain the relationship of drift distortion
current distortion
and total distortion. Then the value of distortion drift is accurately predicted by utilizing the value of coding pixels
the value of reference pixels
and the value of reconstructed reference pixels. The traditional R-λ model is finally used to obtain the Lagrange factor λ based on distortion drift and to derive a more accurate R-λ model. Experimental results and a comparison with the original scheme show that the proposed method gets a reduction of about 1.7% in bit-rate and an improvement of about 0.1 dB in PSNR of the reconstructed video in keeping the same bit-rate
and that the proposed method improves the coding efficiency with a slight increase in time-consumption.
