Abstract
The constrained Viterbi algorithm (C-VA) makes use of some prior reliable information to reduce complexity and improve performance of Viterbi algorithm (VA). However it can only be used in the concatenate code scheme because the detection result of cyclic redundancy check code (CRC) is exploited to provide reliable information. In this paper, a different way is proposed to provide reliable information for C-VA, which is possible to be used in simple codec. Known bits were added to the set partitioning in hierarchical trees (SPIHT) coded image sequence periodically and directly. They were thought to be reliable information for C-VA in the decoder. Experimental results show that the proposed scheme can obtain much better error resilient ability compared with conventional VA under the extremely inferior channel condition if the best desired quality of reconstructed images can be sacrificed.
