Abstract

We classify the visibility of TS (Transport Stream) packet losses for SDTV and HDTV MPEG-2 compressed video streams. TS packet losses can cause various temporal and spatial losses. The visual effect of a TS packet loss depends on many factors, in particular whether the loss causes a whole frame loss or partial frame loss. We develop models for predicting loss visibility for both SDTV and HDTV resolutions for frame loss and partial frame loss cases. We compare the dominant predictive factors and the results for the two resolutions. We achieve more than 85% classification accuracy.
