Abstract
A system implements rate control for encoding and decoding operations, for example, operations performed on slices of data such as image data. The system implements a transformation from actual buffer fullness to rate controlled fullness. With the rate controlled fullness model, the encoders and decoders adapt bit allocation responsive to rate controlled fullness, instead of the actual fullness.
