摘要：Rate control plays an important role in transmitting low-delay and high-quality images over the channel of very low bandwidth. The rate control algorithm in MPEG-4 or H.26X only defined the rate control model of P-frame, and did not introduce the rate control model of I-frame as it supposed that only the first frame is an I-frame, the others are all P-frames. However, in practical applications, a certain number of I-frames have to be inserted to meet the demand for fault-tolerant transmission and information retrieval. Oriented toward the application demand of remote surveillance system based on PSTN, a rate control strategy is proposed for encoding video at even low bit-rate in this paper. The strategy includes a rate-control algorithm for I-frame and introduces a quadratic rate distortion model, which solves the problem of the rate control used at very low bit-rate preferably. The rate distortion model of I-frame is designed referring to that of P-frame. It mainly involves three processes: initial quantization parameter calculation, objective bit number allocation, and objective quantization parameter calculation.
