In the conventional 2D case, several different strategies are known for extrapolating the missing information and thus concealing the error. In 3D however, the residual error after concealment of one view might leads to binocular rivalry with the correctly received second view. In this paper, three simple alternatives are presented: frame freezing, a reduced playback speed, and displaying only a single view for both eyes, thus effectively switching to 2D presentation. In a subjective experiment the performance in terms of quality of experience of the three methods is evaluated for different packet loss scenarios. Error-free encoded videos at different bit rates have been included as anchor conditions. The subjective experiment method contains special precautions for measuring the Quality of Experience (QoE) for 3D content and also contains an indicator for visual discomfort. The results indicate that switching to 2D is currently the best choice but difficulties with visual discomfort should be expected even for this method.","PeriodicalId":339319,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th International Packet Video Workshop","volume":"52 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121639868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We demonstrate that the theoretical performance limits of both strategies are achievable by combination of RLC coding and the Gaussian Elimination (GE) decoding.

In these systems, the most noticeable impairments are not bit-level distortions, nor packet losses (as they get repaired), but video chunk or frame level delays. A key module in a video player is the video playback controller that decides whether to wait for delayed frames (hence freezing the playback), or try to playback by concealing the missing data. A good design should be based on how users react to different frame delay scenarios and playback decisions. We carefully designed a set of subjective tests to sample user reactions, and discuss how our results can be used in the design of playback controllers.","PeriodicalId":339319,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th International Packet Video Workshop","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121644802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We found that about 38% of whole frame losses of B frames are not observed by any of the subjects, and well over 58% of the B frame losses are observed by 20% or fewer of the subjects. Using simple predictive features which can be calculated inside a network node with no access to the original video and no pixel level reconstruction of the frame, we developed a model which can predict the visibility of whole frame losses in B frames.

The recursive optimal per-pixel estimate (ROPE) is a known approach to compute up to second moments of decoder-reconstructed pixels, and thereby optimally estimate the distortion. ROPE accurately accounts for encoding/decoding operations that are recursive in the pixel domain, and their interaction with packet loss and decoder concealment. The premise of this work is that considerable gains could be recouped by a dual estimation technique that would perform its recursion in the transform domain. This opens the door to accurate distortion estimation in conjunction with estimation-theoretic source coding approaches that involve transform domain operations, including improved prediction in both single-layer and scalable video coding. We present a novel recursive optimal estimate that operates entirely in the transform domain, namely, the spectral coefficient-wise optimal recursive estimate (SCORE). The method overcomes intricacies due to motion compensation from “off-grid” blocks. We first demonstrate that its accuracy matches ROPE in the usual setting where ROPE is known to be optimal. Then we consider an enhanced encoding scenario involving spectral operations that cannot be accurately tracked by ROPE, but for which SCORE still maintains optimality and hence enables substantial end-to-end performance gains over a large range of packet loss rates.","PeriodicalId":339319,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th International Packet Video Workshop","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116178578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The model extends our previously proposed hybrid frame-recursive block-based distortion model by taking into account both multiple reference frames and motion copy concealment techniques which are first introduced in the latest video compression recommendation H.264/AVC. In order to capture the characteristics of multiple reference frames, we introduce a new parameter to relate the dependency of the current frame to more-than-one reference frames and applying a linear combination method to form a statistical model based on previously calculated distortion results. By applying Bernoulli process to approximate the first moment of decoded pixel, we can obtain an estimation formula for both frame copy and motion copy concealments. The simulation results are compared with our proposed channel-error distortion estimation results and the comparisons show that our model yields a fairly high estimation accuracy.","PeriodicalId":339319,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th International Packet Video Workshop","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131185887","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When this process takes place during video encoding and transmission, Regions-of-Interest (RoIs) turn to be a very useful tool in order to favor the encoding of such regions compared to the fixed background. In this paper, we show that, in conjunction with effective spatio-temporal filters, H264 Motion Estimation can be efficiently used for a robust and coarse-grain detection and tracking of moving objects. The integration of the compression and detection modules enables the prediction of ROIs positions from previous frames, offering therefore tracking at a very low computational cost. In the case of high resolution sequences affected by severe quality degradation (such as improper interlacing, light reflections and camera shaking), the global video compression ratio can be dramatically improved without damaging the ROI. This is especially the case when appropriate encoding options, i.e. appropriate Flexible Macroblock Ordering (FMO) types, are exploited. Different proposals are offered to maximize the quality of the RoI facing a dynamic constraint of the network bandwidth.","PeriodicalId":339319,"journal":{"name":"2010 18th International Packet Video Workshop","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130128110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
