HEVC perceptual intra-frame rate control inspired by video subjective observation experiment by Yanchao GONG, Ling WANG, Ying LIU, Kaifang YANG, Qingfan LIN, Fuping WANG

“…In view of the low perceptual rate-distortion performance of the rate control method used in high efficiency video coding (HEVC), an intra-frame rate control algorithm to effectively improve the perceptual rate-distortion performance of video was proposed.First, the spatiotemporal complexity of videos was measured, and the video subjective observation experiment was designed combined with the spatiotemporal complexity.Secondly, based on the experimental results of video subjective observation, combined with the relevant human vision system perception characteristics, the spatiotemporal perceptual sensitivity factors of video content which could effectively measure the perception difference of human eyes for different regions of video were constructed.Finally, the spatiotemporal perceptual sensitivity factors were applied to the target bit allocation of the largest coding unit layer in the intra-frame image, then the perceptual intra-frame rate control was realized.Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm is superior to the rate control algorithm adopted by HEVC in terms of the bit estimation accuracy and the perceptual rate-distortion performance.…”

Study on the Relationship Between Water Resources Utilization and Economic Development in Hubei Province by ZHU Hao, YIN Mingcai, HU Yuanzhao, MA Jianing, ZHANG Jishi

“…According to the water footprint theory,the structural characteristics of water footprint and the level of water resources utilization in Hubei Province were analyzed.The analysis results show that:①The water footprint and agricultural water footprint in Hubei Province generally rise with fluctuations,while the industrial water footprint decreases with fluctuations.The agricultural water footprint accounts for 87.8% of the water footprint in the province,which indicates that the water footprint in Hubei Province has significantly different structures.②The water resources utilization and economic growth in Hubei Province show a weak decoupling trend.The economy of Hubei Province develops positively,and the industrial structure is reasonable.The technical effect and economic scale cause major waste of water resources.③The overall water footprint intensity in Hubei Province significantly drops,and the water resources utilization efficiency gradually improves.However,the water footprint intensity in some regions is relatively high,and the water resources utilization efficiency can still be improved.④The water footprint intensity in Hubei Province has a significant spatial autocorrelation,which mainly presents low-low and high-low spatial clustering patterns,and it has an obvious tendency to spread to the surrounding areas.…”
