Abstract

A method for encoding an image of a video stream divided into macroblocks comprising determining a maximum of variance of luma blocks in a macroblock, determining if the maximum of variance exceeds a predetermined threshold, determining if the motion vectors of the macroblock are in correlation with a reference macroblock, determining if the macroblock is not an edge macroblock and setting a first quantization level for the macroblock if it meets these conditions and setting a second quantization level for the macroblock if it does not meet these conditions, where the second quantization level is greater than the first quantization level.
