In this paper, a method for dynamically determining group of picture (GOP) size as a function of picture change activity within a sequence of video frames is presented. But the method is not suitable for the analysis of video sequences.
Abstract
Method, system and computer program product are provided for dynamically determining group of picture (GOP) size as a function of picture change activity within a sequence of video frames. Image statistics on one or more intraframe characteristics of the sequence of video frames is compared to a preset threshold for deciding whether to continue within an existing GOP or to begin a new GOP. A frame of the sequence of video frames is intra-coded, and each of a variable number of subsequent frames is bi-directionally predictive-coded (B). Each B frame subsequent to the I frame is encoded employing forward prediction motion estimation only from the I frame. When a predefined picture degradation occurs, a new GOP is initiated. One example of an intraframe characteristic to be monitored is the number of intra-coded macroblocks within each B coded frame. This number is compared against a threshold number, which may be a percentage of the total number of macroblocks within the frame.
