Abstract

Since Wavelet Transform decomposes a video frame into subbands with various frequencies and resolutions, the reconstructed video qualify at a receiver fluctuates according to the location of transmission errors within frames. This deteriorates the whole visual duality of the video. Specifically, for a wavelet based video which exploits the motion estimation prediction scheme, the transmission errors of a subband not only have a bad effect on other subbands within a same frame but also propagates to the subsequent frames. In this paper, we propose BDP(Block Based Dispersive Packetization) scheme, for a wavelet based video stream, which maintains constant video quality despite packet location that a transmission error occurs. To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheme, we use MRME(Multi-Resolution Motion Estimation) scheme to compress a video in Inter coding mode and Gilbert´s error model to generate the error patterns in wireless network environment. The simulation results show that BDP is more efficient than BP (Block based Packetization) or DP (Dispersive Packetization) in both PSNR and visual quality.

웨이블릿 변환(Wavelet Transform)된 비디오는 주파수와 해상도가 다근 부대역으로 분해되므로 전송 오류가 발생한 패킷의 위치에 따라 복원된 프레임 간 화질 편차가 크게 된다. 복원된 프레임의 화질 변화가 클수록 사용자가 느끼는 비디오의 화질은 떨어진다. 특히, 움직임 예측을 이용한 웨이블릿 비디오의 경우, 특정 부대역에서 발생한 오류는 같은 프레임의 다른 부대역 뿐 아니라 이후 프레임의 화질에도 지속적인 영향을 미치게 된다. 본 논문에서는 웨이블릿 기반 비디오를 네트워크로 전송하기 위해 패킷화론 수행할 때, 오류발생 패킷의 위치에 관계없이 일정한 화질을 유지하며 오류 은닉이 쉬운 블록기반 패킷화 기법인 BDP(Block based Dispersive Packetization)를 제안한다. 본 논문은 MRME(Multi-Resolution Motion Estimation)글 적용하여 압축된 비디오와 무선 네트워크에서의 오류 발생 모델을 이용하여 성능평가를 수행하였다. 실험결과 제안된 기법은 프레임을 일정한 블록으로 분할하여 순차적으로 패킷화하는 BP나 픽셀단위로 분산하는 DP기법에 비해 주ㆍ객관적인 성능 모두 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다.
