Abstract

The independent rate-distortion optimization technique for the video coding standard H. 266/VVC (versatile video coding) suffers from a loss in coding performance due to the oversight of temporal propagation effects of coding distortion in reference unit. To address this issue, we propose a low-latency rate-distortion optimization algorithm based on the temporal influence of coding distortion. Firstly, leveraging the temporal continuity characteristics of video images, we compute the temporal propagation influence weight of encoding distortion by considering motion compensation prediction errors and reconstruction errors. Secondly, we establish a rate-distortion optimization model based on the temporal propagation impact of encoding distortion. Lastly, we utilize the temporal propagation influence weight of encoding distortion to adjust the Lagrange multipliers and quantization parameters of coding units. Experimental results demonstrate that, under low-delay P-frame and B-frame configurations, compared to the baseline algorithm, the BD-rate savings reach 1.6% and 0.9%, and the coding time decreases by 2.93% and 6.02%, respectively. The experimental results demonstrate that the algorithm proposed in this paper effectively improves coding performance without increasing encoding complexity, making it suitable for real-time encoding applications.
