Motion and Disparity Aided Stereoscopic Full Frame Loss Concealment Method

Stereoscopic video is one of the emerging research areas especially among the video coding community. Along with the studies for efficiently compressing the stereoscopic and multiview video, new error concealment and error protection methods are also necessary to overcome the problems due to erroneous channel conditions in practical applications. In this paper we propose a full frame loss concealment algorithm for stereoscopic sequences. The proposed method uses redundancy and disparity between the two views and motion information between the previously decoded frames to estimate the lost frame. The results show that, the proposed algorithm outperforms the monoscopic methods when they are applied to the same view as they are simulcast coded.
