An error resilient coding algorithm in multiview video coding

Multiview video coding (MVC) has employed motion estimation and disparity estimation to achieve the highest coding efficiency. While the compressed MVC video bit-stream is transmitted through error-prone networks, transmission error will propagate along intra-view and inter-view direction. Based on the characteristic of MVC, we propose a new end-to-end distortion estimation model, and incorporate the model with rate distortion optimization to obtain the joint source-channel coding mode selection algorithm. Experimental results demonstrate the proposed algorithm has a superior transmission efficiency improvement for multiview video transmission over error-prone networks.
