Abstract

In this paper, we review temporal error concealment for video transport over unreliable networks, and a new approach for the recovery of lost or erroneous motion vection(MV)s by classifying the movements of neighboring blocks by their homogeneity is proposed. MVs of the neighboring blocks are classified according to the direction of MVs and a representative value for each class is determined to obtain the candidate MV set. By computing the distortion of the candidates, a MV with the minimum distortion is selected. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm exhibits better performance in many cases than existing methods.

본 논문에서는 압축된 비디오 비트스트림이 전송시 전송 에러에 의해 발생되는 화질 열화를 복원하기 위한 시간적 에러 은닉 기법에 대해 논의한다. 또한, 손실된 블록의 주변 블록이 가지는 움직임을 동일 움직임 여부에 따라 분류함으로써 손실된 블록의 움직임 벡터를 복원하는 새로운 알고리즘을 제안한다. 본 논문에서는 손실 블록의 주변 블록들의 동일 움직임을 분석하여 손실 블록의 움직임을 잘 예측할 수 있도록 하기 위해서, 손실 블록의 이웃 블록들의 움직임 벡터는 각 움직임 벡터의 방향에 따라 분류되고, 각 분류된 클래스의 대표 움직임 벡터는 후보 움직임 벡터군에 포함된다. 후보 움직임 벡터군에 속한 각 움직임 벡터에 의해 예측된 블록과 손실 블록 주변간의 왜곡을 측정하여, 최소의 왜곡을 가지는 블록의 움직임 벡터가 선택된다. 실험 결과는 제안된 방법이 다른 손실 블록 복구 알고리즘보다 더 좋은 결과를 나타낸다.
