압축된 비디오 신호를 전송함에 있어 에러에 의해 영상이 손상되는 영향을 최소화하기 위하여 여러 가지 오류은닉 기법들이 제안되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 인터 프레임에서 오류가 발생하여 정보가 손실되었을 경우, 움직임벡터의 효율적인 복구를 통한 오류은닉 방식을 제안하였다. 이를 위해 기존의 블록오류은닉 방식이 갖고 있는 문제점들을 살펴보고 이 중 전체 합 문제(total sum problem)에 대해 해결책으로 제시 될 수 있는 Infinite Norm을 이용한 블록경계정합방식을 제안하였고 실험에 의해 그 성능을 검증하였다.

3차원 메쉬 영상의 압축 알고리듬들은 예측 부호화 및 엔트로피(entropy) 부호화를 기본 기법으로 이용하므로, 압축된 비트열(bitstream)의 네트워크 전송에서 전송 오류에 매우 민감한 단점을 지닌다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전송 오류에 강인하고 점진적 부호기를 기본으로 하는 3차원 메쉬 영상의 오류은닉 알고리듬을 제안한다. 전송 오류에 강인한 알고리듬을 개발하기 위해, 3차원 원본 메쉬 영상을 여러 파티션(partition)으로 분할하고, 각각의 파티션을 독립적으로 점진 부호화한다. 복호기에서는 오류가 발생하지 않은 주변 표면 정보를 이용하는 오류 은닉 알고리듬을 오류에 의해 손상 받은 파티션 표면에 적용하여 손상된 파티션의 시각적 손상 정도를 감쇄시킨다. 전산 모의 실험을 통해, 제안하는 알고리듬의 오류에 대한 강인성 및 오류 발생시 손상된 파티션 표면이 제안하는 오류 은닉 알고리듬을 통해 화질이 개선됨을 확인하였다.

압축한 비디오데이타를 네트워크으로 전송 시 채널이 불안정한 경우 패킷이 분실될 우려가 있다. 패킷 분실은 대부분 버스트오류로 나타난다. 본 연구에서는 디코더에서 버스트오류를 효과적으로 은닉, 처리하는 방법으로 오류 내성 비디오 인코딩 방법을 제안한다. 이를 위해 공간적 오류은닉법으로 오류 패킷 분실을 야기시키는 손실 블록을 분리하는데 효과적인 블록 인터리빙을 적용한다. 시간적 오류 은닉에 대해서는 연속적인 내부프레임 또는 프레임간에 움직임벡터의 프레임간 패리티 비트를 삽입하는 구조를 적용한다. 비디오 인코딩 단계를 거쳐 디코더에서 수신한 블록들에 대해서는 쌍선형 보간법을 적용하여 전송시 발생한 국지적 오류를 적절하게 은닉 처리한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 인코딩 방법을 전송 블록에 부가 데이터로 포함하는 것은 표준 엔코더의 복잡도에 거의 영향을 미치지 않는다.

The MPEG-2 source coding algorithm is very sensitive to transmission errors due to using of variable-length coding. When the compressed data are transmitted, transmission errors are generated and error correction scheme is not able to be corrected well them. In the decoder error concealment (EC) techniques must be used to conceal errors and it is able to minimize degradation of video quality. The proposed algorithm is method to conceal successive macroblock errors of I-frame and utilize temporal information of B-frame and spatial information of P-frame In the previous GOP which is temporally the nearest location to I-frame. This method can improve motion distortion and blurring by temporal and spatial errors which cause at existing error concealment techniques. In network where the violent transmission errors occur, we can conceal more efficiently severe slice errors. This algorithm is Peformed in MPEG-2 video codec and Prove that we can conceal efficiently slice errors of I-frame compared with other approaches by simulations.

In network delivery of compressed video, packets may be lost if the channel is unreliable like Internet. Such losses tend to of cur in burst like continuous bit-stream error. In this paper, we propose an effective error-concealment approach to which an error resilient video encoding approach is applied against burst errors and which reduces a complexity of error concealment at the decoder using data hiding. To improve the performance of error concealment, a temporal and spatial error resilient video encoding approach at encoder is developed to be robust against burst errors. For spatial area of error concealment, block shuffling scheme is introduced to isolate erroneous blocks caused by packet losses. For temporal area of error concealment, we embed parity bits in content data for motion vectors between intra frames or continuous inter frames and recovery loss packet with it at decoder after transmission While error concealment is performed on error blocks of video data at decoder, it is computationally costly to interpolate error video block using neighboring information. So, in this paper, a set of feature are extracted at the encoder and embedded imperceptibly into the original media. If some part of the media data is damaged during transmission, the embedded features can be extracted and used for recovery of lost data with bi-direction interpolation. The use of data hiding leads to reduced complexity at the decoder. Experimental results suggest that our approach can achieve a reasonable quality for packet loss up to 30% over a wide range of video materials.

This paper proposes an adaptive error concealment technique for compressed video. Since redundancy is extracted out during compression process, compressed video is vulnerable to errors which occur during transmission of video over error prone networks such as wireless channels and Internet. Error concealment is a process of reconstructing video out of damaged video bit stream. We proved that scalable encoding is very useful for error concealment. Analysis of experiments shows that some part of image is better concealed by using base layer information and other part of image is better concealed by using previous frame information. We developed a technique which enables to decide which methodology is more effective, adaptively, based on motion vectors and regional spatial activity. We used H.263v2 for scalable encoding, but, our approach could be applied to all DCT based video codec.

In this paper: we propose the adaptive error concealment technique for scalable video coding over wireless network error prove environment. We prove it is very effective that Error concealment techniques proposed in this paper are applied to scalable video data. In this paper, we propose two methods of error concealment. First one is that the en·or is concealed using the motion vector of base layer and previous VOP data. Second one is that according to existence of motion vector in error position, the error is concealed using the same position data of base layer when the motion vector is existing otherwise using the same position data of previous VOP when the motion vector is 0(zero) adaptively. We show that according to various error pattern caused by condition of wireless network and characteristics of sequence, we refer decoder to base layer data or previous enhancement layer data to effective error concealment. Using scalable coding of MPEG-4 In this paper, this error concealment techniques are available to be used every codec based on DCT.

Error concealment plays an important role in combating transmission errors. Methods of error concealment which produce better quality are generally of higher complexity, thus making some of the more sophisticated algorithms is not suitable for real-time applications. In this paper, we develop temporal and spatial error resilient video encoding and data hiding approach to facilitate the error concealment at the decoder. Block interleaving scheme is introduced to isolate erroneous blocks caused by packet losses for spatial area of error resilience. For temporal area of error resilience, data hiding is applied to the transmission of parity bits to protect motion vectors. To do error concealment quickly, a set of edge features extracted from a block is embedded imperceptibly using data hiding into the host media and transmitted to decoder. If some part of the media data is damaged during transmission, the embedded features are used for concealment of lost data at decoder. This method decreases a complexity of error concealment by reducing the estimation process of lost data from neighbor blocks. The proposed data hiding method of parity bits and block features is not influence much to the complexity of standard encoder. Experimental results show that proposed method conceals properly and effectively burst errors occurred on transmission channel like Internet.

This paper describes an error resilient video data transmission method using information hiding. In order to localize transmission errors in receiver, video encoder embeds one bit for a macro block during encoding process. Embedded information is detected during decoding process in the receiver, and the transmission errors can be localized by comparing the original embedding data. The localized transmission errors can be easily corrected, thus the degradation in a reconstructed image can be alleviated. Futhermore, the embedded information can be applied to protect intellectual property rights of the video data. Experimental results for 3 QCIF sized video sequenced composed of 150 frames respectively show that, while degradation in video streams in which the information is embedded is negligible, especially in a noisy channel, the average PSNR of reconstructed images can be improved about 5 dB by using embedded information. Also, intellectual property rights information can be effectively obtained from reconstructed images.

본 논문은 isophote 제약조건을 사용한 유전자 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithms) 기반의 효율적인 오류 은닉 방법을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 먼저 오류 블록을 경계선 정합 알고리즘(Boundary Matching Algorithm)을 사용하여 오류 블록의 주변과 가장 유사한 블록을 이전 프레임에서 찾아 교체한 후, isophote를 제약조건으로 가진 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하여 교체된 오류 블록을 재구성하는 것이다. Isophote들은 영상에서 일정한 밝기 값을 가지는 곡선들로, 본 논문에서는 비디오 통신 시 화질을 개선하기 위해, 전송 오류에 의한 끊어진 isophote들을 부드럽게 연결한다. 끊어진 isophote들을 연결하기 위해, isophote를 제약조건으로 가진 적합도 함수를 최소화하는 픽셀 값을 유전자 알고리즘을 사용하여 추정하고, 그 값을 isephote 방향으로 투영한다. 실험 결과, 제안된 방법이 다른 오류 은닉 방법 보다 좀 더 화질을 개선시킬 수 있다.
