Abstract

Scalable High Efficiency Video Coding (SHVC) has been emerging as an efficient video coding solution for adaptive video streaming and conferencing. SHVC is designed with a layered coding structure in which High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) tools are employed as core elements. However, compression efficiency and error sensitivity associated with efficient HEVC tools make this scalable codec less attractive for practical video transmission, especially when the loss of packets or video frames occurs. This problem severely impacts the display quality of received video. To address this problem, we propose efficient error concealment (EC) methods that compensate for a whole frame that is lost and that mitigate the error propagation problem occurring in practical video transmissions using SHVC. The presented EC methods mainly rely on the decoded information; thus, it is easily integrated into the SHVC decoder as a post-processing component. The experimental results obtained for both subjective and objective quality assessments show that the inter-layer correlation-based EC approach typically provides the highest concealed frame quality; thus, it is highly recommended for practical video transmission.
