Abstract
The present invention is directed to a rate-distortion optimized (RDO) transform and quantization system. A frame classification unit classifies an input frame as either a key frame or a non-key frame. A rate model update unit generates at least one model parameter of a rate model according to a transform coefficient and a bitrate resulted from an encoded key frame. An RDO transform and quantization unit processes the input frame, thereby generating a quantized transform coefficient according to the model parameter. A frame buffer is used to store a previous frame, according to which the bitrate is estimated.
