Abstract
A method for hybrid video coding is disclosed. The method generally includes the steps of (A) calculating a bit rate based on a percentage of quantized zero coefficients resulting from encoding a plurality of components of a video signal, (B) calculating a distortion based on the percentage of quantized zero coefficients, (C) calculating a plurality of variances of a plurality of prediction error pictures and (D) calculating an adaptive Lagrangian multiplier in a Lagrangian rate-distortion optimization as a function of the bit rate, the distortion and the variance to minimize a Lagrangian cost.
