ABSTRACT:
The disclosure is directed to video processing. The various video processing techniques include generating blocks of information for a frame of video, allocating bits from a bit budget to each of the blocks, the number of bits being allocated to each of the blocks being a function of the information contained therein, and using the bits allocated to each of the blocks to represent the information contained therein.
