Shape Error Concealment for Shape Independent Transform Coding
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Arbitrarily shaped video objects are an important concept in modern video coding methods. The techniques presently used are not based on image elements but rather video objects having an arbitrary shape. In this paper, spatial shape error concealment techniques to be used for object-based image in error-prone environments are proposed. We consider a geometric shape representation consisting of the object boundary, which can be extracted from the α-plane. Three different approaches are used to replace a missing boundary segment: Bézier interpolation, Bézier approximation and NURBS approximation. Experimental results on object shape with different concealment difficulty demonstrate the performance of the proposed methods. Comparisons with proposed methods are also presented. Keywords—error concealment, shape coding, object-based image, NURBS, Bézier curves.

Review of Error Resilient Coding Techniques for Real-Time Video Communications
In this paper we review error resilience techniques for real-time video transport over unreliable networks. Topics covered include an introduction to today's protocol and network environments and their characteristics, encoder error resilience tools, decoder error concealment techniques, as well as techniques that require cooperation between encoder, decoder and the network. We provide a review...
متن کاملShape refreshment need metric for object-based resilient video coding
Although there are several techniques that video encoders may use to improve error resilience, it is largely recognized that intra coding refreshment plays a major role. This technique is especially useful for video encoders that rely on predictive (inter) coding to remove temporal redundancy because, in these conditions, the decoded quality can decay very rapidly due to error propagation if er...
متن کاملCombining Space and Time Processing for Shape Error Concealment
Several shape error concealment techniques for objectbased video have already been proposed in the literature. These techniques, however, are either spatial or temporal, in the sense that only information from one of these domains is considered during the concealment process. While spatial error concealment techniques only use spatially adjacent shape information to perform the concealment, tem...
متن کاملMPEG-7 Based Spatial Shape Concealment Difficulty
In a digital video communication, the encoder can play a very important role on what can be achieved at the decoder side in terms of error processing. To behave in the best way, it is important that the encoder try to foresee the difficulties that the decoder will face dealing with errors and work to help it, notably in the most critical moments. In particular, if the encoder evaluates how diff...
متن کاملSpatial Scene Level Shape Error Concealment for Segmented Video
In this paper, an original spatial scene level shape error concealment technique for segmented objectbased video scenes, to be used in error-prone environments such as mobile networks, is proposed. This technique is different from existing shape concealment techniques because it considers, not only the video objects that have to be concealed, but also the context in which these objects are inse...
