Abstract
HEVC/H.265 is the latest video coding standard. It has a higher compression rate under the requirement of ensuring video image quality. However, the currently used video image quality evaluation indicators cannot better fit the subjective perception of the human visual system and cannot effectively allocate target bits and update parameters so that results in reduced video image coding quality. This paper proposes a CTU-level rate control algorithm based on the image quality evaluation factor PSNR-HVS which is more in line with the perception of the human visual system. According to the PSNR-HVS of the CTU as the weight, the target bit is assigned to the current frame to be encoded. Then calculate the actual bits and PSNR-HVS after encoding the current CTU to update the parameters of the CTU at the same position in the next frame. The experimental results show that compared with HM16.20, the subjective performance of the video after encoding is improved, and the image details are more delicate, BD-Rate = -4.6, BD-PSNR-HVS = 0.17, ÎT = 4.6%.
