Error resilience and concealment in embedded zerotree wavelet codecs

In ATM networks cell loss or channel errors can cause data to be dropped in the channel. When digital imagedvideo are transmitted over these networks one must be able to reconstruct the missing data so that the impact of the errors is minimized. In this paper we overview the problem of using EZW encoders in channels where data-loss is possible. We also describe an error resilience scheme based on unequal error protection and data interleaving that addresses the problem of using rate scalable encoders over ATM networks.
