Abstract： Aiming at the problem that the VVC rate control algorithm does not comprehensively consider the actual texture characteristics of the coded frame, and its rate-distortion performance and visual experience need to be improved, a rate control algorithm based on video content-related feature values is proposed. By introducing the gray level co-occurrence matrix, the relevant feature values reflecting the texture complexity of the encoded frame are calculated, which are used to adjust the image weight of the frame layer; based on the R-λ model, the λ parameter of the LCU layer is recalculated to improve the bit allocation of the LCU layer Accuracy. After testing, compared with the adaptive bit allocation algorithm in the low-delay configuration, the algorithm in this paper is closer to the target bit rate, the rate-distortion performance is improved by 0.86%, and the subjective quality of video coding is significantly improved.

多功能視頻編碼(Versatile Video Coding，VVC)是由ISO/IEC的MPEG和ITU-T的VCEG聯(lián)合制定，于2020年7月正式發(fā)布的新一代視頻編碼標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。與以前標(biāo)準(zhǔn)相比，VVC具有更高的壓縮性能和通用性，可應(yīng)用于高清和超高清視頻、360°全向視頻、高動態(tài)視頻范圍和廣色域、沉浸式媒體等多種應(yīng)用場景。
VVC碼率控制算法仍沿用了高效視頻編碼(High Efficiency Video Coding，HEVC)中的R-λ模型[1]。基于該模型的碼率控制算法具有控制效果好、比特波動小的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，但對局部紋理復(fù)雜邊緣輪廓顯著的視頻，最大編碼單元(Largest Coding Unit，LCU)層的比特分配并不準(zhǔn)確，導(dǎo)致峰值信噪比有所損失。針對該模型碼率控制算法的不足，文獻(xiàn)[2]和[3]以LCU層的梯度值衡量編碼區(qū)域的復(fù)雜度，用于指導(dǎo)R-λ模型中LCU的比特分配，提升了R-λ模型的性能；文獻(xiàn)[4]對LCU層編碼模型參數(shù)做偏差修正處理，重新計算更新待編碼LCU的權(quán)重分配，提升了LCU層的比特精確度；文獻(xiàn)[5]根據(jù)視頻幀間相關(guān)性，參考前一幀R-λ模型更新后計算得到的比特數(shù)預(yù)測待編碼幀的復(fù)雜度，提高了視頻編碼質(zhì)量；文獻(xiàn)[6]將I幀消耗大量比特的影響分?jǐn)偟秸麄€序列，從而改進(jìn)了前幾個圖像組(Group of Pictures，GOP)比特分配量，并在GOP編碼過程中根據(jù)實(shí)際消耗的比特不斷更新幀層的λ參數(shù)，提高了后續(xù)幀的比特分配精確度。
