Abstract

Two novel error concealment techniques are proposed for video transmission over noisy channels in this work. First, we present a spatial error concealment method to compensate a lost macroblock in intra-coded frames, in which no useful temporal information is available. Based on selective directional interpolation, our method can recover both smooth and edge areas efficiently. Second, we examine a dynamic mode-weighted error concealment method for replenishing missing pixels in a lost macroblock of inter-coded frames. Our method adopts a decoder-based error tracking model and combines several concealment modes adaptively to minimize the mean square error of each pixel. The method is capable of concealing lost packets as well as reducing the error propagation effect. Extensive simulations have been performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed methods in error-prone environments.
