Definitions

  • the invention is related to video encoding and decoding techniques.
  • the invention relates to systems and methods that generate video code that is relatively robust to transmission errors and to systems and methods decode video code to reduce error propagation.
  • a variety of digital video compression techniques have arisen to transmit or to store a video signal with a lower bandwidth or with less storage space.
  • video compression techniques include international standards, such as H.261, H.263, H.263+, H.263++, H.26L, MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, and MPEG-7.
  • DCT discrete cosine transform
  • MC motion compensation
  • Such video compression techniques permit video bitstreams to be efficiently carried across a variety of digital networks, such as wireless cellular telephony networks, computer networks, cable networks, via satellite, and the like.
  • FEC forward error correction
  • FEC techniques are used to recover corrupted bits, and thus reconstruct data in the event of corruption.
  • FEC techniques disadvantageously introduce redundant data, which increases the bandwidth of the bitstream for the video or decreases the amount of effective bandwidth remaining for the video.
  • FEC techniques are computationally complex to implement.
  • conventional FEC techniques are not compatible with the international standards, such as H.261, H.263, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4, but instead, have to be implemented at a higher, "systems" level.
  • One approach to mitigate against corrupted data is to modify the syntax of the video coders to use a single motion vector with a lag value that indicates the frame number from which the motion is referenced, i.e., the motion vector depends on one of several previous frames. See Budagavi, M., et al., "Error Propagation in Motion Compensated Video over Wireless Channels," Proc. ICIP '97, Vol. 2 (Oct. 1997), pp. 89- 92. Disadvantageously, only a single motion vector is transmitted, and there is no redundancy.
  • the lag value is not part of the international standards so that a video encoded with single motion vectors and lag values is not backwards compatible with a decoder that decodes motion vectors based on only the previous frame, such as decoders that are compatible with the international standards of H.261, H.263, MPEG-2, and MPEG-4.
  • Each block in a k-i frame, F* is motion compensated from a weighted superposition of a motion vector from a block in a previous frame, F JH , and a block from a frame that is previous to the previous frame, F A . .
  • the decoder suppresses its error propagation by predicting the block in the k-ih frame, F*, from the remaining block that is not corrupted, either F*- ⁇ or F*. 2 .
  • the invention is related to methods and apparatus that encode redundant motion vectors for predictive-coded visual object planes (P-VOPs) to increase the robustness of transmitted video signals.
  • One embodiment provides the redundant motion vectors in a user data video packet of an MPEG-4 compliant bitstream, which thereby allows the enhanced bitstream to remain compliant with MPEG-4 syntax and backwards compatible with MPEG-4 decoders.
  • the enhanced bitstreams allow a video decoder to display a video with a better picture and relatively less error and error propagation when portions of the bitstream are disturbed or corrupted by interference, delays, and the like.

  • P-VOP predictive-coded video object plane
  • this permits the decoder to display a frame based on a reconstructed VOP in the presence of unfavorable environmental conditions, such as interference, delays, and the like, which could otherwise corrupt a previous frame that is used as a reference by a standard decoder, such as a standard MPEG-4 decoder.

  • Embodiments of the invention advantageously allow relatively highly compressed video bitstreams, such as MPEG bitstreams, to be robustly encoded for protection against relatively spotty reception of the video bitstream.
