چکیده
ETRI Journal, Volume 30, Number 4, August 2008 The H.264/AVC standard has adopted new coding tools such as intra-prediction, variable block size, motion estimation with quarter-pixel-accuracy, loop filter, and so on. The adoption of these tools enables an H.264/AVC-coded bitstream to have more information than was possible with previous standards. In this paper, we propose an effective spatial error concealment method with low complexity in H.264/AVC intra-frame. From information included in an H.264/AVC-coded bitstream, we use prediction modes of intra-blocks to recover a damaged block. This is because the prediction direction in each prediction mode is highly correlated to the edge direction. We first estimate the edge direction of a damaged block using the prediction modes of the intra-blocks adjacent to a damaged block and classify the area inside the damaged block into edge and flat areas. Our method then recovers pixel values in the edge area using edge-directed interpolation, and recovers pixel values in the flat area using weighted interpolation. Simulation results show that the proposed method yields better video quality than conventional approaches.

In this paper, we propose content-adaptive refined error concealment schemes for video transmission over packet lossy networks.

Signaling of scene information in coded bitstreams was proposed by the authors and adopted into the emerging video coding standard H.264 (also known as MPEG-4 part 10 or AVC) as a supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message. This paper proposes some improved error concealment methods for intra coded pictures and scene transition pictures using the signaled scene information. Simulation r...

متن کاملAn error resilient coding scheme for H.264/AVC video transmission based on data embedding
For entropy-coded H.264/AVC video frames, a transmission error in a codeword will not only affect the underlying codeword but also may affect subsequent codewords, resulting in a great degradation of the received video frames. In this study, an error resilient coding scheme for H.264/AVC video transmission is proposed. At the encoder, for an H.264/AVC intra-coded I frame, the important data for...
متن کاملAn Effective Error-Resilient Coding for H.264 Video
The transmission errors in H.264 may propagate in the temporal direction. Errors in intra-coded picture (I-frame) will propagate into the associated P-B frame if they are in the same Group Of Picture (GOP). Therefore it is important to detect errors in the I-frame rather than in the P-B frame. This paper proposes and demonstrates an effective technique of Error-Resilient Coding based on bit-err...
