Abstract
An image encoding method with rate control includes at least the following steps: defining a plurality of candidate bit budgets corresponding to different pre-defined maximum encoded bit lengths for one coding unit respectively; when encoding pixel data of a plurality of pixels within a current coding unit of an access unit of a frame, determining a target bit budget selected from the candidate bit budgets and allocating the target bit budget to the current coding unit; and outputting encoded pixel data of the pixels within the current coding unit that is generated from the encoder, wherein a bit length of the encoded pixel data is smaller than or equal to the target bit budget.
