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.

We investigate error patterns in compressed multi-view videos and propose a multi-hypothesis algorithm, which is adaptive to the error patterns. Different from multi-hypothesis algorithms for mono-view sequences, the proposed algorithm exploits inter-view correlations in multi-view sequences as well as spatio-temporal correlations. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm effectively protects the quality of reconstructed videos against transmission errors.
