To transmit MPEG-2 video on an erroneous channel, a number of error control techniques He needed. Especially, error concealment techniques which can be implemented on receivers independent of transmitters are essential to obtain good video quality. In this paper, a motion adaptive boundary matching algorithm (MA-BMA) is presented for temporal error concealment. Before carrying out BMA, we perform error concealmmt by a motion vector prediction using neighboring motion vectors. If the candidate of error concealment is rot satisfied, search range and reliable boundary pixels are selected by the motion activity or motion vectors ane a damaged macroblock is concealed by applying the MA-BMA. This error concealment technique reduces the complexity and maintains PSNR gain of 0.3 0.7dB compared to the conventional BMA.

Error control and concealment in video communication is becoming increasingly important because transmission errors can cause single or multiple loss of macroblocks in video delivery over unreliable channels such as wireless networks and the internet. This paper describes a temporal error concealment by postprocessing. Lost image blocks are overlapped block motion compensated (OBMC) using median of motion vectors from adjacent blocks at the decoder. The results show a significant improvement over zero motion error concealment and other temporal concealment methods such as Motion Vector Rational Interpolation or Side Match Criterion OBMC by 1.4 to 3.5㏈ gain in PSNR. We present experimental results showing improvements in PSNR and computational complexity.

This paper presents a robust error concealment method for burst-packet-loss networks. The proposed error concealment algorithm can reduce the computational complexities of the existing error concealment methods. Moreover, experimental results show that the proposed method produces the better video quality than the conventional boundary matching algorithm.

This research studied mothers of clients to examine relationships between level of self-concealment and level of perception of social support in the working alliance (goal concurrence, task agreement, and emotional relationships during parent consultation) as perceived by the therapist, Subjects were 87 mothers of clients and 42 therapists. The parent consultation sessions examined in this study ranged from the 3rd to the 12th session. Data were analyzed by simple regression and two-way ANOVA. Results showed that (1) the level of self-concealment affected all components of working alliance. (2) Perception of social support level affected all components of working alliance. (3) Interaction effects of levels of self-concealment with perception of social support were significant.

A compressed video bitstream is sensitive to errors that may severely degrade the reconstructed images even when the bit error rate is small. One approach to combat the impact of such errors is the use of error concealment at the decoder without increasing the bit rate or changing the encoder. For spatial-error concealment, we propose a method featuring edge continuity and texture preservation as well as low computation to reconstruct more visually acceptable images. Aiming at temporal error concealment, we propose a two-step algorithm based on block matching principles in which the assumption of smooth and uniform motion for some adjacent blocks is adopted. As simulation results show, the proposed spatial and temporal methods provide better reconstruction quality for damaged images than other methods.

An informed watermarking algorithm is proposed in this work that aids in concealing packet loss errors in video communications. This watermark-based error concealment(WEC) method embeds a low resolution version of the video frame inside itself as watermark data. At the receiver, the extracted watermark is used as a reference for error concealment. The proposed DCT-based algorithm has features of informed watermarking in order to minimize the distortion of the host frame. At the encoder, a predictive feedback loop Is employed which helps to adjusts the strength of the scale factor Furthermore, some of the modified coefficients of the DCT signal are virtually free from distortion by employing bit- sign adaptivity. The performance of the detector is Qualitatively analyzed for error concealment applications where full-frame DCT embedding proved to be more advantageous.

In this work, we propose a multi-hypothesis error concealment algorithm, which replaces a lost block with a weighted superposition of more than two reference blocks in previous frames. Three methods are developed to find the set of reference blocks and determine the weighting coefficients. These methods are implemented based on H.26L standard, and their performances are evaluated. It is shown that the proposed multi-hypothesis algorithm provides up to 1.5㏈ better PSNR performance than the conventional single-hypothesis concealment algorithm.

The MPEG-2 video compressed bitstream is very sensitive to transmission errors due to the complex coding structure of the MPEG-2 video coding standard. If one packet is lost or received with errors, not only the current frame will be corrupted, but also errors will propagate to succeeding frames within a group of pictures. Therefore, we employ various error resilient coding/decoding techniques to protect and reduce the transmission error effects. Error concealment technique is one of them. Error concealment technique exploits spatial and temporal redundancies of the correctly received video data to conceal the corrupted video data. Motion vector recovery and compensation with the estimated motion vector is good approach to conceal the corrupted data. In this paper, we propose various error concealment algorithms based on motion vector recovery, and compare their performance to those of conventional error concealment methods.

In this paper, we propose an error resilience video coder which uses a hybrid error concealment algorithm. Firstly, the algorithm uses the error concealment with data hiding. If the hiding information is lost, the motion vector of lost macroblock is computed with adaptive selection of adjacent motion vectors and OBMC (Overlapped Block Motion Compensation) is applied with this motion vector. We know our algorithm is more effective in case of continuous GOB. The results show more significant improvement than many temporal concealment methods such as MVRI (Motion Vector Rational Interpolation) or existing error concealment using data hiding.

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.
