Optimal bit allocation for video coding under multiple constraints

We consider optimal encoding of video sequences (for ATM networks) under buffer and channel constraints. For independent coding, we develop an algorithm which employs multiple Lagrange multipliers to find the constrained optimal bit allocation, Simulation results are presented. We also compare the coded video quality and other characteristics of variable bit-rate and constant bit-rate transmission.
