The invention applies to the
multimedia information field, and provides a coding optimization method of a medium grain scalable video, a coding optimization device of the medium
gain scalable video, and an information terminal. The method comprises the following steps: defining an
importance weight vector of a sheet; calculating the
mass percentage of each sheet based on a
mass enhancing layer; establishing a relation curve of the
code rate and the
mass percentage according to the mass percentage of the sheet in the mass enhancing layer and the bit number actually required for coding the sheet; and structuring a rate-
distortion model of the medium grain scalable sheet; estimating the video
stream code rate according to the structured rate-
distortion model of the medium grain scalable sheet and rate-
distortion models of preset I, P and B frames; and obtaining an optimal solution controlled by the
code rate within the target medium grain scalable code rate interval by a
greedy algorithm according to the estimated video
stream code rate. In the invention, a medium grain scalable video coding scheme is optimized by the
greedy algorithm, therefore, the problems due to the limited bandwidth and the
video quality can be effectively solved, and the image
coding quality can be improved.
