An effective error concealment method based on abrupt scene change detection algorithm

摘要

Compressed video bit-streams are extremely sensitive to packet loss over error-prone channels. Error concealment (EC) has been considered as one of error control techniques to improve the reconstructed picture quality against transmission errors. However, EC methods show poor image reconstruction performance due to unavailable scene change information of the video sequence, especially when an abrupt scene change occurs. In this paper, we propose an effective EC method based on scene change detection algorithm (SCDA), which provides information to decide whether spatial or temporal EC is better to be used for intra and inter frames respectively. The simulation results show that the proposed method highly improves the subjective quality of incorrectly decoded frames and obtains an average gain of 0.7dB compared with the H.264/AVC Joint Model reference software.
