Abstract: This paper presents an improved rate control scheme for the H.264 video coding scheme. By analyzing the relationship between direct mean absolute difference (MAD) and actual MAD, a new MAD prediction scheme is introduced to enhance traditional linear MAD prediction model, which is unable to predict abrupt MAD fluctuations. Our proposed adaptive model could reduce MAD prediction error by up to 34%. One simple sum bit quadratic R-Q model is also presented to solve the problem caused by inaccurate texture bits estimation of H.264. With the new MAD prediction model and R-Q model, our proposed scheme could reduce the mismatch between actual frame bits and target frame bits by up to 32%, and the buffer occupancy is much closer to the ideal status. Meanwhile, reconstructed video quality is also improved by up to 0.21dB at low bitrate.
