실시간 VoIP 네트워크는 지연, 지터 그리고 패킷손실과 같은 네트워크 장애요소로 인해 품질저하가 발생한다. 본 논문은 VoIP 음질 향상을 위해 잡음환경에 강인한 음성분류기반의 패킷손실 은닉 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 방식에서는 음성신호로부터 추출된 다양한 특징들을 분석하고 이를 기반으로 획득된 적응적인 문턱값을 사용하여 수신단에 도착한 패킷을 분류한다. 정확한 신호분류 결과는 패킷손실 은닉에 사용된다. 그리고 선형 예측 기반의 손실패킷 은닉은 연속적으로 패킷을 은닉하거나 손실된 패킷복원 시 발생하는 메탈릭 아티펙트를 제거함으로써 고품질의 음성을 제공한다.

In real time packetized voice application, missing packets are major source of voice quality degradation. Thus packet loss concealment (PLC) algorithms are needed to guarantee QoS of VoIP. In this paper, we describe packet loss concealment scheme utilizing the next good frame which follows loss packets. When this scheme is combined with other PLC algorithms, such as G.711 pitch waveform replication recommended by ITU-T LP based PLC algorithm, additional voice quality improvement is obtained for consecutive packet loss larger than 60 msec.

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.

Because a packet loss brings about degradation of speech quality, VoIP speech coders have PLC (Packet Loss Concealment) mechanism. G.711, which is a mandatory VoIP speech coder, also has the PLC algorithm based on pitch period replication. However, it is not robust to burst losses. Thus, we propose two methods to improve the performance of the original PLC algorithm in G.711. One adaptively utilizes voiced/unvoiced information of adjacent good frames regarding to the current lost frame. The other is based on adaptive gain control according to energy variation across the frames. We evaluate the performance of the proposed PLC algorithm by measuring a PESQ value under different random and burst packet loss simulating conditions. It is shown from the experiments that the performance of the proposed PLC algorithm outperforms that of PLC employed in ITU-T Recommendation G.711.

In real time packetized voice applications, missing frames is a major source of voice quality degradation. Thus packet loss concealment(PLC) algorithms are needed to guarantee the QoS of the VoIP. Still current speech codecs for VoIP work poor when consecutive packet losses are issued. In this paper, we proposed a new PLC algorithm for the G.729 codec. Our algorithm works better especially when the consecutive packet loss occurs mainly because it adopts an adaptive gain controller utilizing the number of missing packet information combined with a fixed codebook vector estimation algorithm and LPC bandwidth expansion.

Error concealment techniques are significant due to the growing interest in imagery transmission over error-prone channels. This paper presents a spatial error concealment technique for losslessly compressed images using least significant bit (LSB)-based data hiding to reconstruct a close approximation after the loss of image blocks during image transmission. Before transmission, block description information (BDI) is generated by applying quantization following discrete wavelet transform. This is then embedded into the LSB plane of the original image itself at the encoder. At the decoder, this BDI is used to conceal blocks that may have been dropped during the transmission. Although the original image is modified slightly by the message embedding process, no perceptible artifacts are introduced and the visual quality is sufficient for analysis and diagnosis. In comparisons with previous methods at various loss rates, the proposed technique is shown to be promising due to its good performance in the case of a loss of isolated and continuous blocks.

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.

최근 wireless network이나 internet과 같이 오류가 많이 발생하는 channel을 통한 video의 전송이 급격히 증가하면서 channel상에서 발생하는 전송에러로 인한 데이터의 손실이 심각한 문제로 대두되고 있다. 따라서 영상통신에서의 error control과 concealment가 주된 관심사로 부각되었다. 본 논문은 MPEG-4나 H.263등의 방식으로 압축된 비디오를 전송하는 동안 채널 상에서 발생하는 전송에러로 인하여 블록 손실이 일어난 영상에 대해 디코더에서의 후처리 (postprocessing)에 의한 시간적 에러 은닉 (error concealment) 기술을 이용하여 손실된 블록을 정정하는 기법에 대하여 연구하였다. 손실된 블록 주위의 정상 블록의 움직임 벡터들을 이용하여 중간 (median) 값을 취한 후, 손실된 블록의 새로운 움직임 벡터로 할당하고, overlapped block motion compensation (OBMC)을 통해 최종적으로 손실영역을 은닉하게된다. 그 결과 계산량이 적고, PSNR 성능평가 면에서는 제안한 방법의 결과가 기존의 방법들 중 우수한 에러 은닉 결과를 내는 MVRI (Motion Vector Rational Interpolation) EC 2-D Case of All Directions보다 약 1.4∼3.5㏈정도 향상된 견과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The wireless network has bursty and high error rates. Due to the quite limited bandwidth in wireless networks, images are usually transmitted as a compressed version with VLC(variable length coding). Loss of coded data can affect a decoded image to a large extent, making concealment of errors caused by data loss an important issue. This paper presents a error concealment technique for DCT(Discrete Cosine Transform) based image coding. First, a method to estimate the missing DC coefficients of a JPEG coded image which is required for decoding the compressed image, is suggested and evaluated. Second, the missing data is interpolated by exploiting the probability of being nonzero and the correlation between adjacent blocks. In addition, since the these technique is computational efficient, it conserves system resources and power consumption, which are restrictive in mobile computers.

본 논문에서는 비디오 패킷 손실 복구를 위한 새로운 시간적 에러 은폐기법을 제안한다. 제안된 기법에서, 영상의 손실된 블록은 먼저 시간적 에러은폐 기법이 적용되고, 얻어진 결과에 대해 공간적 스무딩 기법이 적용된다. 제안된 공간적 스무딩 기법은 시간적 에러은폐 기법이 적용된 블럭과 손실되지 않은 인접 블록 사이의 불연속을 제거하거나 최소화하는데 적용된다. 제안된 기법은 기존의 여러 가지 시간적 에러 은폐 기법에 대해 컴퓨터 모의 실험을 행한 결과, 객관적, 주관적 성능을 상당히 개선시킴을 확인할 수 있었다.
