Abstract

Streaming video is expected to become a key service in the developing heterogeneous wireless network. However, sufficient quality of service is not offered to video applications because of bursty packet losses. An effective solution for packet loss in wireless network is to perform a proper concealment at the receiver. However, most concealment methods can not conceal effectively the consecutively damaged macro blocks, since the neighboring blocks are lost. In the previous work, bidirectional motion vector tracking (BMVT) method has been proposed which uses the moving trajectory feature of the damaged macro blocks. In this paper, a channel-adaptive redundancy coding method for the better BMVT error concealment is presented. The proposed method provides enhanced video quality at the cost of a little bit overhead in the wireless error-prone network.

스트리밍 비디오 서비스는 최근 이종망으로 구성되는 무선망에서 중요한 어플리케이션으로 자리잡을 것으로 예상된다. 그러나 군집성있는 패킷 손실에 의해서 서비스의 충분한 품질이 보장되지 않는다. 무선망에서 패킷 손실에 대한 효율적인 해결책은 수신단에서 적절한 에러 은닉 기술을 사용하는 방법일 것이다. 그러나 대부분의 에러 은닉 기술은 손실 블록에 인접한 이웃 블록들이 군집성 패킷 손실에 의해 이미 손실되었기 때문에 효율적으로 손실된 블록열들을 복원하기 어렵다. 이를 해결하기 위해 손실된 MB에서의 움직임 선형 특성을 이용하는 bidirectional motion vector tracking (BMVT)가 이전에 제안되었었다. 본 논문에서는 BMVT 에러 은닉 기술을 향상시킨 채널 적응형 잉여 코딩 방식이 소개되어진다.
