Abstract

See full text

A method of encoding is provided. The method includes generating transform coefficients corresponding to macroblocks of video data, at least in part using a transform unit. The method also includes calculating a visual quality importance index for each of the macroblocks, wherein the visual quality importance index reflects a relative importance of the respective macroblock to subjective image quality. The method further includes receiving initial quantization parameters for the macroblocks from a rate control unit; dynamically adjusting the quantization parameters based, at least in part, on the visual quality importance index; and quantizing the transform coefficients using the dynamically adjusted quantization parameters.
