We propose an optimal Multiple Description (MD) video coding technique with 3D-Set Partitioning in Hierarchical Tree (3D-SPIHT) algorithm. Multiple Description Coding (MDC) technique generates multiple bitstreams of the video content and has useful applications in packet video networks and error-prone networks. We describe a twodescription MDC system that embraces rate-distortion optimization t...

We present a system for video streaming well adapted to the unpredictable and varying nature of Internet. The proposed system uses a superposition of several Multiple Description Coding (MDC) schemes, each with N = 2 descriptions, to reach rate scalability and adaptability to varying channel conditions. Each MDC (N = 2 descriptions), that we will call base MDC has a bit rate and a redundancy as...

Nowadays, image and video compression are well developed fields of signal processing. Modern state-of-the-art coders allow better compression with better quality. A new field in signal processing is representation of 3D scenes. 3D visual scenes may be captured by stereoscopic or multi-view camera settings. The captured multi-view video can be compressed directly or converted to more abstract 3D...

Multiple Description (MD) coding of predictively coded sources is of practical interest in several multimedia applications such as redundant storage of videolaudio data. and real-time videolaudio telephony. A key problem associated with predictive MD coding is the occurrence of predictive mismatch. In the present paper, we pose the problem of predictive MD coding as a variant of the Wyner-Ziv d...

With Asymmetric Multiple Description Coding we address the transmission case where there is a plethora of communication paths between sender and receiver, all with a different bandwidth and different levels of reliability (in terms of packet loss rate). For this scenario we have several possibilities for coding and transmission at our disposal, namely Round-Robin transmission, Layered Coding, T...
