چکیده

Nowadays, image and video compression are well developed fields of signal processing. Modern state-of-the-art coders allow better compression with better quality. A new field in signal processing is representation of 3D scenes. 3D visual scenes may be captured by stereoscopic or multi-view camera settings. The captured multi-view video can be compressed directly or converted to more abstract 3D data representations such as 3D dynamic meshes (mesh sequences) and efficiently compressed. In any case, efficiently compressed visual data has to be transmitted over communication channels, such as wireless channels or best-effort networks. This raises the problem of error protection, since most of these channels are error-prone. A common approach to error protection is to consider it as a pure channel problem, separate from the source compression problem. This approach is based on Shannon’s work, which states that in principle source and channel coding tasks can be carried out independently with no loss of efficiency. However, this cannot be achieved in practice due to delay requirements and other problems. As an alternative, one can tolerate channel losses. Assuming that not all the data sent has reached the decoder, one can concentrate on ensuring efficient decoding of the correctly received data only. One way to achieve this is to use multiple description coding (MDC). The source is encoded into several descriptions, which are sent to the decoder independently over different channels. The decoder can reconstruct the source with lower yet acceptable quality from any description received. Better reconstruction quality is obtained from more descriptions. This thesis investigates MDC of images, video, stereoscopic video, and 3D meshes thus validating MDC as an error resilience tool for various types of multimedia data. The thesis consists of four main chapters. Chapter 2 deals with MDC of images. It introduces an MDC algorithm

Schemes for Multiple Description Coding of Stereoscopic Video

This paper presents and compares two multiple description schemes for coding of stereoscopic video, which are based on H.264. The SS-MDC scheme exploits spatial scaling of one view. In case of one channel failure, SS-MDC can reconstruct the stereoscopic video with one view low-pass filtered. SS-MDC can achieve low redundancy (less than 10%) for video sequences with lower inter-view correlation....

Two-stage multiple description image coders: Analysis and comparative study

A general two-stage multiple description coding (MDC) scheme using whitening transform is analyzed. It represents the original image in a form of a coarse image approximation and a residual image. The coarse approximation is subsequently duplicated and combined with the residual image further split into two descriptions using a chessboard block transform coefficients rearrangement. We identify ...

Optimized Multiple Description Scalar Quantization Based 3d Mesh Coding

In this paper, we propose a Multiple Description Coding (MDC) scheme for 3D models represented by triangular meshes. The objective of MDC is to encode a source into multiple bitstreams, called descriptions, supporting multiple quality levels of decoding. The proposed scheme is based on multiresolution geometry compression achieved by usingwavelet transform andmodified SPIHT algorithm. We obtain...

Low-Complexity Multiple Description Coding of Video Based on 3D Block Transforms

The paper presents a multiple description (MD) video coder based on three-dimensional (3D) transforms. Two balanced descriptions are created from a video sequence. In the encoder, video sequence is represented in a form of coarse sequence approximation (shaper) included in both descriptions and residual sequence (details) which is split between two descriptions. The shaper is obtained by block-...
