Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for encoding with hypothetical reference decoder compliant bit allocation. The apparatus includes an encoder (100) for encoding image data for a picture in a resultant bitstream by controlling a bit allocation during the encoding of the image data responsive to satisfying requirements for a subsequent decoding of the bitstream. The requirements relate to preventing at least one of an underflow condition and an overflow condition in a buffer during the subsequent decoding of the bitstream.
Claims20
An apparatus, comprising:
- an encoder for encoding image data for a picture in a resultant bitstream by controlling a bit allocation during the encoding of the image data responsive to satisfying requirements for a subsequent decoding of the bitstream, the requirements relating to preventing at least one of an underflow condition and an overflow condition in a buffer during the subsequent decoding of the bitstream.
In a video encoder, a method, comprising:
- encoding image data for a picture in a resultant bitstream by controlling a bit allocation during the encoding of the image data responsive to satisfying requirements for a subsequent decoding of the bitstream, the requirements relating to preventing at least one of an underflow condition and an overflow condition in a buffer during the subsequent decoding of the bitstream.
