Frame Error Concealment Technique Using Adaptive Inter-Mode Estimation for H.264/AVC

Since H.264/AVC achieves a high compression ratio by reducing spatio-temporal redundancy in video sequences, the payload of a single packet can often contain a whole frame encoded by H.264/AVC. Therefore, the loss of a single packet does not only cause the loss of a whole frame, but also produce error propagation. In this paper, we propose a novel whole frame error concealment method using adaptive inter-mode estimation for H.264/AVC. Experimental results show that the proposed method exhibits the better PSNR performance as compared with conventional methods.
