Error-Resilient Video Compression via Forecast of Error Concealment Modes Based on Multiple State Streams and Even-Odd Filed

Abstract

This paper introduces the forecast of error concealment modes (FOECM) using in the error resilient coding scheme based on multiple state streams and even-odd field. The forecast of error concealment modes makes it extremely easy and flexible to obtain the best performance of error concealment at the decoder, which is obtained by the pre-evaluation of the error concealment modes at the encoder. Multiple states coding (MSC) based on even-odd filed presents error concealment modes of many dimensions, which provide improved error concealment and fast state recovery for the lost stream. In addition, we present three novelty algorithms: approximate parallel field projection (APFP) and rank edge line average (RELA) and bidirectional best neighborhood matching (BBNM). Simulations show that this approach has excellent performance. Moreover, the method proposed can be implemented in many source codes (e.g., H263, MPEG4, H264).
