PATTERN SELECTION FOR ERROR-RESILIENT SLICE INTERLEAVING BASED ON RECEIVER ERROR CONCEALMENT TECHNIQUE
Yu Wang, Jo Yew Tham, Wei Siong Lee, Kwong Huang GohAbstract
Video communication is often afflicted by packet loss over unreliable networks. To alleviate the quality degradation in the situation of packet loss, this paper proposes a novel error resilient slice interleaving method for compressed video packetization. Each packet is constructed by interleaving independently decodable slices of the coded video bit-stream in consecutive frames. The optimal interleaving pattern for minimizing the expected overall distortion of the decoded video, subject to a delay constraint, is determined based on the error concealment technique employed at the user end. Compared with traditional error-resilient methods, this scheme greatly improves the overall performance without requiring an increase in bit-rate. Experimental results on different video sequences demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
