Adaptive error concealment for Multiple Description Video Coding using motion vector analysis

Multiple Description Coding (MDC) is an efficient error resilient video coding method especially for real-time applications when retransmission is unacceptable. For applications with scalable, multicast and P2P environments, it is advantageous to use more than two descriptions. In this paper, we present an adaptive temporal-spatial error concealment method using motion vector analysis to improve the performance of MDC. Experimental results demonstrate the efficacy of the proposed method.
