An error concealment algorithm for streaming video
نویسندگان
چکیده
A known problem in video streaming is that loss of a packet usually results into loss of a whole video frame. In this paper we propose an error concealment algorithm specifically designed to handle this sort of losses. The technique exploits information in a few past frames (namely the motion vectors) in order to estimate the forward motion vectors of the last received frame. This information is used to project the last frame onto an estimate of the missing frame. The algorithm has been tested on MPEG-2 video, providing very satisfactory results, and outperforming by several dBs in PSNR the concealment technique based on repetition of the last received frame.

An Efficient Adaptive Boundary Matching Algorithm for Video Error Concealment
Sending compressed video data in error-prone environments (like the Internet and wireless networks) might cause data degradation. Error concealment techniques try to conceal the received data in the decoder side. In this paper, an adaptive boundary matching algorithm is presented for recovering the damaged motion vectors (MVs). This algorithm uses an outer boundary matching or directional tempo...

متن کاملStreaming Real-Time Audio and Video Data with Transformation-Based Error Concealment and Reconstruction
One fundamental problem with streaming audio and video data over unreliable IP networks is that packets may be dropped or arrive too late for playback. Traditional error control schemes are not attractive because they either add redundant information that may worsen network traffic, or rely solely on the inadequate capability of the decoder to do error concealment. In this paper, we propose a s...
متن کاملA coordinated multiple description scalar quantizer and error concealment algorithm for error resilient video streaming over lossy channels
Historically, multiple description coding (MDC) and post-processing error concealment (ECN) algorithms for video have evolved separately. Although multiple description coding provides a way to make the video quality degrade gracefully in the presence of packet losses, the resulting quality may be unsatisfactory when only one description is used to reconstruct the signal. This paper proposes a c...
