Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2013107600A1] The present invention relates to a method for the dynamic quantisation of a stream of images comprising blocks (210) of different types converted into the transform domain. The method includes a first quantisation step (201) comprising the quantisation of a plurality of the blocks with initial quantisation coefficients (211), as well as a determination step (202) comprising the determination of the residual encoding costs after the first quantisation (201), for several types of blocks respectively. The method also includes a second quantisation step (204) comprising the quantisation of the converted blocks (210) of at least one type with quantisation coefficients (203) selected according to the distribution of the residual costs between a plurality of block types. The invention applies to encoders comprising a quantisation step that can apply different quantisation coefficients depending on the types of image blocks to be encoded.
