Motion Consistence and Textural Coherence based Error Concealment Algorithm for Corrupted Macroblock

Abstract:

In this paper, an error concealment algorithm for lost macroblock (MB), named motion consistence and textural coherence based error concealment algorithm (MCTC), is proposed to meet the requirement of video transmission over error-prone channels. A directional predicted motion vector (MV) set is setup by using the motion consistence between MV co-located in reference frame and the neighboring MVs of the lost MB. To find out an optimal MV from this candidate MV set, a textural coherence based boundary matching (TCBM) criterion is proposed. The experiment results show that the MCTC outperforms the state-of-the-art video error concealment methods in both objective and subjective visual quality.
