Abstract
Image and video compression standards such as JPEG, MPEG, H.263 are highly sensitive to error during transmission. Among typical error propagation mechanisms in video compression schemes, loss of block synchronization produces the worst image degradation. Even an error of a single bit in block synchronization may result in data to be placed in wrong positions that is caused by spatial shifts. Our proposed efficient block error concealment code (EBECC) virtually guarantees block synchronization and it improves coding efficiency by several hundred folds over the error resilient entropy code (EREC), proposed by N. G. Kingsbury and D. W. Redmill, depending on the image format and size. In addition, the EBECC produces slightly better resolution on the reconstructed images or video frames than those from the EREC. Another important advantage of the EBECC is that it does not require redundancy contrasting to the EREC that requires 2-3 percent of redundancy. Our preliminary results show the EBECC is 240 times faster than EREC for encoding and 330 times for decoding based on the CIF format of H.263 video coding standard. The EBECC can be used on most of the popular image and video compression schemes such as JPEG, MPEG, and H.263. Additionally, it is especially useful to wireless networks in which the percentage of image and video data is high.
