This paper proposes an optimal rate control model based on deep neural network (DNN) features to improve the coding tree unit (CTU)-level rate control in high-efficiency video coding for conversational videos. The proposed algorithm extracts high-level features from the original and previously reconstructed CTU blocks based on a predefined DNN model of the visual geometry group (VGG-16) network. Then, the correlation of the high-level feature and quantization parameter (QP) values of previously coded CTUs is explored for subjective visual characteristics to estimate the CTU-level rate control model parameters (alpha and beta) and the bit allocation of each CTU. Therefore, this paper also proposes a new model for Lambda estimation for each CTU by improving its relationship with the estimated bits per pixel to control the rate and relative distortion. Furthermore, the Lambda and QP boundary settings were adjusted based on the proposed perceptual model to ensure the rate control accuracy of each CTU. The results of experiments with the proposed algorithm, when compared to the rate control model in HM-16.20, reveal higher bitrate accuracy and an average BD-rate gain based on PSNR, SSIM, and MSSSIM metrics using the low-delay-P configuration. |
