Provided is a high efficiency video coding sensing rate-
distortion optimization method based on
structural similarity. The high efficiency video coding sensing rate-
distortion optimization method based on the
structural similarity comprises the following steps that (1) calculation of image
distortion is carried out by using the
structural similarity as the evaluation criterion of distortion before the coding end of a high efficiency video coder carries out mode judgment, and the calculation of the image distortion is used for replacing calculation of a coded image distortion value in the process of rate-distortion judgment carried out by the coding end of the high efficiency video coder; (2) Lagrangian multipliers in the process of high efficiency video coding rate-distortion judgment calculation are corrected according to the
motion intensity consistency between every two adjacent zones on a space domain and a
time domain of a coded image, and rate-distortion optimization calculation of a current
coding region is carried out. According to the high efficiency video coding sensing rate-distortion optimization method based on the structural similarity, due to the facts that the structural similarity serves as the evaluation criterion of image distortion,
spatial correlation and
time correlation of a former frame and a later frame in the process of
interframe coding are used for deducing the
motion intensity consistency of the current
coding region, and accordingly, parameters used in the process of the rate-distortion judgment are corrected, sensing visual quality of the coded image is greatly improved under the condition that the calculation complexity is not greatly improved.
