H.264/AVCis currently the most widely adopted video coding standard due to its high compression capability and flexibility. However, compressed videos are highly vulnerable to channel errors which may result in severe quality degradation of a video. This paper presentsa concealment aware Unequal Error Protection (UEP) scheme for H.264 video compression using Reed Solomon (RS) codes. The propose...

Seven patients with atrial fibrillation and six patients with atrial flutter were studied using the technic of His bundle recordings. All 13 patients received digitalis. In atrial fibrillation each QRS complex (except for premature ventricular beats) was preceded by a single His bundle deflection. Complete block distal to the His bundle was not observed. Thus, the zone of concealment could be l...

An effective visual error concealment method has been presented by employing a robust rotation, scale, and translation (RST) invariant partial patch matching model (RSTI-PPMM) and exemplar-based inpainting. While the proposed robust and inherently feature-enhanced texture synthesis approach ensures the generation of excellent and perceptually plausible visual error concealment results, the outl...

Camouflage in marine environments requires matching all of the background optical properties: spectral, intensity and polarization components─ all of which can change dynamically in space and time. Current research suggests that polarization detection is more sensitive than other conventional detection methods in scattering media such as the ocean, hence underscoring the need to develop polariz...

This paper presents a comparative study of different error concealment (EC) techniques in the context of distributed speech recognition (DSR) that exploits repetition, interpolation or subvector concealment to counteract transmission errors. A number of experiments are conducted and the results demonstrate that repetition is as good as, or even better than, linear interpolation whereas the subv...

In this paper, an original spatial scene level shape error concealment technique for segmented objectbased video scenes, to be used in error-prone environments such as mobile networks, is proposed. This technique is different from existing shape concealment techniques because it considers, not only the video objects that have to be concealed, but also the context in which these objects are inse...
