This paper presents an improved redundant picture coding method that efficiently enhances the error resiliency of H.264. The proposed method applies polyphase downsampling to residual blocks obtained from inter prediction and selectively encodes the rearranged residual blocks in the redundant picture coding process. Moreover, a spatial-temporal sample construction method is developed for the redundant coded picture, which further improves the reconstructed picture quality in error prone environments. Simulations based on JM11.0 were run to verify the proposed method on different test sequences in various error prone environments with average packet loss rates of 3%, 5%, 10%, and 20%. Results of the simulations show that the presented method significantly improves the robustness of H.264 to packet loss by 1.6 dB PSNR on average over the conventional redundant picture coding method.

This paper introduces a new structure for the undecimated discrete wavelet transform (UDWT). This structure combines the stationary wavelet transform with a lifting scheme and its design is based on a polyphase structure .where the downsampling and split stage are removed. The suggested structure inherits the simplicity of the lifting scheme, such that the inverse transform is easily implemented. The performanace of the proposed undecimated lifting is verified on a signal denoising application.
