In this paper, we review the recent advances in rate control techniques for video coding. The
rate control algorithms recommended in the video coding standards are briefly described …

In this article we provide an overview of rate-distortion (RD) based optimization techniques
and their practical application to image and video coding. We begin with a short discussion …

The increased popularity of multimedia applications places a great demand on efficient data
storage and transmission techniques. Network communication, especially over a wireless …

Content delivery over the Internet needs to address both the multimedia nature of the
content and the capabilities of the diverse client platforms the content is being delivered to …

In this paper, we review a general framework for the optimal bit allocation among dependent
quantizers based on the minimum maximum (MINMAX) distortion criterion. The pros and …

We study the problem of rate control for transmission of video over burst-error wireless
channels, ie, channels such that errors tend to occur in clusters during fading periods. In …

We present a theory for the optimal bit allocation among quadtree (QT) segmentation,
displacement vector field (DVF), and displaced frame difference (DFD). The theory is …

3GPP long term evolution is one of the major steps in mobile communication to enhance the
user experience for next-generation mobile broadband networks. In LTE, orthogonal …

We address the problem of the efficient encoding of object boundaries. This problem is
becoming increasingly important in applications such as content-based storage and …

We consider a situation where a video sequence is to be compressed and transmitted over a
wireless channel. Our goal is to limit the amount of distortion in the received video …
