Abstract

Spatial and temporal metrics are computed for a picture or regions within a picture to determine the impact of coding and quantization on the quality of an encoded picture. Prediction mode decisions and quantization optimization algorithms are used to create a compressed bit stream that minimizes coding artifacts. Pre-processing techniques are also used to suppress coding artifacts that reduce picture quality.
