Effects of cell loss on MPEG video: analytical modeling and empirical validation
نویسندگان
چکیده
MPEG-encoded variable bit rate (VBR) video traffic is expected to incur cell losses during its transmission over a broadband network. These cell losses introduce distortion into the received video. Frame drop rate and Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) can be used to objectively measure this distortion. These two metrics are useful in identifying the threshold cell loss rate (CLR) beyond which the quality of received video is unacceptable to viewers. Thus, they are useful in identifying CLRs to be used in evaluating VBR video traffic models. A novel analytical model is developed for predicting both frame drop rate and RMSE as a function of (i) uniform cell loss rate and (ii) MPEG encoding parameters. The model is validated by an empirical study using an actual MPEG video.

A Method to Reduce Effects of Packet Loss in Video Streaming Using Multiple Description Coding
Multiple description (MD) coding has evolved as a promising technique for promoting error resiliency of multimedia system in real-time application programs over error-prone communicational channels. Although multiple description lattice vector quantization (MDCLVQ) is an efficient method for transmitting reliable data in the context of potential error channels, this method doesn’t consider disc...
متن کاملA New Unequal Error Protection Technique Based on the Mutual Information of the MPEG-4 Video Frames over Wireless Networks
The performance of video transmission over wireless channels is limited by the channel noise. Thus many error resilience tools have been incorporated into the MPEG-4 video compression method. In addition to these tools, the unequal error protection (UEP) technique has been proposed to protect the different parts in an MPEG-4 video packet with different channel coding rates based on the rate...

The goal of this paper is to evaluate the effect of ATM network cell loss on the playback quality of transmitted MPEG video. The MPEG format and its susceptibility to data corruption is analyzed to calculate a theoretical statistical data corruption per cell loss measure. Experiments are run using an ATM network simulator with actual MPEG video to measure the effect of cell loss rate and bursti...
متن کاملModeling MPEG Coded Video Traffic by Markov-Modulated Self-Similar Processes
Markov modulated self-similar processes are proposed to model MPEG video sequences that can capture the LRD (Long Range Dependency) characteristics of video ACF (Auto-Correlation Function). The basic idea is to decompose an MPEG compressed video sequence into three parts according to different motion/content complexity such that each part can individually be described by a self-similar process....
متن کاملNested auto-regressive processes for MPEG-encoded video traffic modeling
This paper presents a new traffic model for MPEGencoded video sequences. The hybrid Gamma/Pareto distribution is used for all three types of frames in MPEG-encoded video sequences, and the present model takes scene changes into account. The autocorrelation structure is modeled using two second-order auto-regressive (AR) processes nested with each other. One AR process is used to generate the me...
