Analysis of drift-error propagation in H.264/AVC video transcoding

摘要

In this paper, for the generation of drift-error-resilient coded bitstreams at the encoder side, an investigation on the drift-error propagation in H.264 by applying different motion estimation precisions is carried out. The results show that the drift-error propagation in half-pixel motion estimation precision increases due to the usage of six-tap filter. Mathematical model for estimating drift-error propagation is presented as well.
