The paper presents a novel error robustness method for H.264/AVC video data, based on the redundant data encoding concept. The proposed redundant data codec incorporates the Wyner-Ziv (WZ) theory and motion vectors (MV) of the H.264/AVC scheme. The performance of the proposed method is evaluated under both error free and error prone Internet Protocol (IP) Packet network environments. The proposed...
Slice group coding using Flexible Macroblock Ordering (FMO) based on Macroblock (MB) importance in H.264/AVC has been studied for providing higher error robustness in error prone environments. However, the efficiency still needs to be improved and the high computational and time cost it causes remains to be an issue. In this paper, an Adaptive Macroblock-to-slice Allocation map (MBAmap) Updating scheme...
Many papers have shown that burst loss causes more severe damage to the reconstructed video quality than random loss for the same packet loss rate. With traditional interleaving methods, the consecutive lost packet positions will be interleaved to random positions, and after interleaving, the PSNR of burst loss can be close to the PSNR of random loss for the same packet loss rate. In this paper, a...
Intra coding is one of the most effective ways of reducing the impact of error propagation caused by predictive coding. However, intra coding requires a higher bitrate when compared to inter coding. In order to use Inter coding and reduce error propagation it is important that inter macroblocks predict from ??safe?? areas that have a decreased chance of spreading errors. To this end we propose a low...
Leaky prediction schemes have been proposed to reduce transmission error propagation by trading off with video coding efficiency. We propose using leaky prediction to improve the robustness of generalized source channel prediction scheme for H.264/AVC in error prone scenarios. We apply leaky prediction selectively at a macroblock level based on a simple mean square error metric in order to reduce...
In this paper we describe a database containing subjective assessment scores relative to 78 video streams encoded with H.264/AVC and corrupted by simulating the transmission over error-prone network. The data has been collected from 40 subjects at the premises of two academic institutions. Our goal is to provide a balanced and comprehensive database to enable reproducible research results in the field...
Conventional rate-distortion (RD) optimized video coding is formulated for an error-free environment. Special considerations have to be made when transmitting video in lossy networks. In this paper we demonstrate a novel method of weighting the distortion used for mode decisions and motion estimation in H.264. By determining an appropriate weighting factor, motion vectors are biased towards macroblocks...
