Multiple Description Video Coding Based on Lattice Vector Quantization

Multiple description coding (MDC) is a promising alternative for robust transmission of information over non-prioritized and unpredictable networks. Especially, MDC has emerged as an attractive approach for video applications where retransmission is unacceptable or infeasible. In this paper, an effective multiple description video coding scheme is introduced. This scheme is mainly constructed using motion-compensated prediction in temporal domain and multiple description lattice vector quantization (MDLVQ) for wavelet coefficients. The experimental results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed scheme
