A compressed video stream is very sensitive to transmission errors that may severely degrade the reconstructed image. Therefore, error resilience is an essential problem in video communications. In this paper, we propose novel temporal error concealment techniques for recovering lost or erroneously received macroblock (MB). To reduce the computational complexity, the proposed method adaptively determines the search range for each lost MB to find best matched block in the previous frame. And the original corrupted MB split into for $8{\times}8$ sub-MBs, and estimates motion vector (MV) of each sub-MB using its boundary information. Then the estimated MVs are utilized to reconstruct the damaged MB. In simulation results, the proposed method shows better performance than conventional methods in both aspects of PSNR.

제안한 방법은 H.264 옵티컬 플로워 방법을 이용하여 손실된 매크로블록의 움직임 벡터를 $4{\times}4$ 단위로 복원하는 알고리즘을 제안했다. 제안하는 알고리즘은 옵티컬 플로워 기반의 움직임벡터 복원 기법에서의 문제점인 높은 복잡도를 해결하기 위해서 최소 $4{\times}4$ 단위에서의 움직임 벡터 정보를 포함하는 H.264 부호화 표준의 특성을 이용하여 정확한 초기값에서 출발함으로써 계산량을 줄임과 동시에 Optical Flow Region을 4개의 $16{\times}16$ 크기로 제한함으로써 기존보다 복잡도를 크게 줄일 수 있었다.

In transmitting a compressed video bit-stream over Internet, a packet loss causes an error propagation in both spatial and temporal domain, which in turn leads to a severe degradation in image quality. In this paper, a new error concealment algorithm is proposed to repair damaged portions of the video frames in the receiver. Conventional BMA(Boundary Matching Algorithm) assumes that the pixels on the boundary of the missing block and its neighboring blocks are very similar, but has no consideration of edges t)r discontinuity across the boundary. In our approach, the edges are detected across the boundary of the lost or erroneous block. Once the edges are detected and the orientation of each edge is found, only the pixel difference along the expected edges across the boundary is measured instead of calculating differences between all adjacent pixels on the boundary. Therefore, the proposed approach needs very few computations and the experiment shows an improvement of the performance over the conventional BMA in terms of both subjective and objective quality of video sequences.
