Scene based rate control for video compression and video streaming

Abstract:

The present disclosure describes techniques for coding video data in a manner that provides consistency to portions of the video that have similar content. According to such techniques, a video sequence may be parsed into partitions and content of the partitions may be analyzed. Partitions may be grouped together based on detected similarities in content. Coding parameters may be selected for each partition based on the partition's membership in the groups. Thus, when the video sequence is coded, coding parameters for frames of two commonly-grouped partitions may be similar, which causes coded video data to have similar presentation.
