1) The document proposes a novel approach to evaluate the average probability of error for a DS-CDMA system using an antenna array receiver. It approximates the angular gain function of the spatial filter as a fixed beamwidth function to partition interferers into in-beam and out-beam groups.
2) It derives an accurate formula for the average bit error rate over Nakagami fading channels. The analysis considers asynchronous transmission and adapts Gaussian approximations to account for noise and multi-user interference after beamforming.

The document presents a novel framework called WSQH-SC for robust reversible watermarking. WSQH-SC improves on prior methods in three ways: 1) It uses property-inspired pixel adjustment to avoid pixel overflow/underflow during embedding. 2) It constructs a new watermark embedding procedure using histogram shifting and k-means clustering of mean wavelet coefficients, improving robustness and reducing complexity. 3) It designs enhanced pixel-wise masking to balance robustness and invisibility by adapting watermark strength based on just-noticeable-difference thresholds. Experimental results on natural, medical and SAR images show WSQH-SC outperforms other reversible watermarking methods.

An overview Survey on Various Video compressions and its importanceINFOGAIN PUBLICATION
With the rise of digital computing and visual data processing, the need for storage and transmission of video data became prevalent. Storage and transmission of uncompressed raw visual data is not a good practice, because it requires a large storage space and great bandwidth. Video compression algorithms can compress this raw visual data or video into smaller files with a little sacrifice on the quality. This paper an overview and comparison of standard efforts on video compression algorithm of: MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, MPEG-7
The 3GPP evolution for the 3G mobile system created the new base station system, called Evolved UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN) and a new core network, called Evolved Packet Core (EPC) as a result of two standardisation projects: Long Term Evolution (LTE) and System Architecture Evolution (SAE). Under these specifications a mobile phone gets access to higher bandwidth with low latency in an improved and more efficient network architecture. The standards define an all-IP network as a base for the E-UTRAN/EPC. The E-UTRAN/EPC does not have a separate PS data traffic and CS voice network, both communicate over the same new Evolved Packet System (EPS) network. LTE/EPS Technology course is an intermediate technical course, which covers all aspects of architecture and functionality of the EPS.
Transmission error propagation in wireless multimedia communication systems has become a recurring
problem. This persistent problem has led to grave consequences on the visual quality of the decoded video.
It is against this backdrop that, we present an adaptive intra refresh (AIR) error-resilient coding tool to
mitigate the effect of transmission error propagation in 3D video communications. This work utilizes
periodic insertion of intra macroblocks in badly error-infected frames temporally as well as related frames
in the multi view video scheme. Our objective is to maximize the transmission efficiency while ensuring the
transmission robustness of the coded bitstream. The selection of periodic macroblocks is based on areas
with high motion above a pre-set threshold. The coding modes of the macroblocks are based on the
distortion expectation due to transmission errors. Extensive simulation results show significant
improvement in both objective and subjective video quality at different intra refresh rates.

IRJET- Optimization of Semantic Image Retargeting by using Guided Fusion NetworkIRJET Journal
This document presents a method for optimizing semantic image retargeting using a guided fusion network. It begins by discussing existing image retargeting methods and their limitations in preserving semantic meaning. The proposed method extracts three semantic components (foreground, action context, background) from images using deep learning modules.

This importance map is fed into an image carrier to generate a retargeted target image that better preserves semantic information from the original image. The method is evaluated on benchmark datasets and shows improved performance over existing baselines in preserving semantics during image retargeting.

Dynamic Texture Coding using Modified Haar Wavelet with CUDAIJERA Editor
Texture is an image having repetition of patterns. There are two types, static and dynamic texture. Static texture is an image having repetitions of patterns in the spatial domain. Dynamic texture is number of frames having repetitions in spatial and temporal domain. This paper introduces a novel method for dynamic texture coding to achieve higher compression ratio of dynamic texture using 2D-modified Haar wavelet transform. The dynamic texture video contains high redundant parts in spatial and temporal domain. Redundant parts can be removed to achieve high compression ratios with better visual quality. The modified Haar wavelet is used to exploit spatial and temporal correlations amongst the pixels. The YCbCr color model is used to exploit chromatic components as HVS is less sensitive to chrominance. To decrease the time complexity of algorithm parallel programming is done using CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture). GPU contains the number of cores as compared to CPU, which is utilized to reduce the time complexity of algorithms.

The DVB-S2 system is designed as a toolbox to permit the execution of the satellite programs. Interleaver is an essential part of the DVB-S2 system. The current general block interleaver in DVB-S2 is not best, which leads to high BER and maybe not satisfy the requirements of the system. The purpose of this paper is to study the several interleaver types and comparative analyses are done between them to find which of these give better performance. Simulations results obtained prove that the 2D interleavers minimize BER more than other interleavers of DVB-S2. Further, the performance of 2D interleaver is better on a system that required a low SNR.

This document presents an analysis of low-complexity video compression using block-based singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithms. It begins with an introduction to video compression and its importance for reducing storage and transmission costs. Current video compression standards like MPEG and H.26x are computationally expensive, making them unsuitable for real-time applications. The document then discusses block SVD algorithms as an alternative that can provide higher quality compression at lower computational complexity. It analyzes reducing the time complexity of video compression using block SVD and compares it to other compression methods. The document outlines the SVD decomposition process and how a 2D version can be applied to groups of image blocks for more efficient compression than 1D SVD.
1) The document proposes a robust audio watermarking technique based on spread spectrum and empirical mode decomposition (EMD). EMD decomposes audio signals into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) representing different frequencies.
2) The technique embeds a watermark by performing discrete cosine transform (DCT) on extrema points of the last IMF, arranging them in descending order, and adding watermark bits. Extraction retrieves the watermark from lower IMFs using the secret key.
3) Experiments show the technique is robust against attacks like noise, cropping, filtering and wiener filtering.
Dynamic Error Concealment Algorithm for Multiview Coding Using Lost MBs Size...IOSR Journals
The document proposes an adaptive error concealment algorithm for multiview video coding that exploits spatial, temporal, and inter-view information. For intra macroblocks, a Spatial-Inter View algorithm is used to conceal errors using weighted pixel averaging and disparity vectors from other views. For inter macroblocks, the algorithm adaptively selects candidate macroblocks for replacement based on the size of the lost macroblock and the view of the reference frame, generating additional candidates to find better matches. Simulation results show the proposed algorithm achieves up to 12.4 dB and 0.73 dB higher PSNR than applying no error concealment or a normal algorithm, respectively, with better subjective quality and lower complexity.

1) The document proposes a robust audio watermarking technique based on spread spectrum and empirical mode decomposition (EMD). EMD decomposes audio signals into intrinsic mode functions (IMFs) representing different frequencies.
2) The technique embeds a watermark by performing discrete cosine transform (DCT) on extrema points of the last IMF, arranging them in descending order, and adding watermark bits. Extraction retrieves the watermark from lower IMFs using the secret key.
3) Experiments show the technique is robust against attacks like noise, cropping, filtering and wiener filtering.
Dynamic Error Concealment Algorithm for Multiview Coding Using Lost MBs Size...IOSR Journals
The document proposes an adaptive error concealment algorithm for multiview video coding that exploits spatial, temporal, and inter-view information. For intra macroblocks, a Spatial-Inter View algorithm is used to conceal errors using weighted pixel averaging and disparity vectors from other views. For inter macroblocks, the algorithm adaptively selects candidate macroblocks for replacement based on the size of the lost macroblock and the view of the reference frame, generating additional candidates to find better matches. Simulation results show the proposed algorithm achieves up to 12.4 dB and 0.73 dB higher PSNR than applying no error concealment or a normal algorithm, respectively, with better subjective quality and lower complexity.
ROBUST ADAPTIVE INTRA REFRESH FOR MULTIVIEW VIDEOIJCSEA Journal
This document presents a robust adaptive intra refresh (AIR) method for error resilience in multiview video coding. The proposed AIR technique inserts intra-coded macroblocks periodically in frames and views that are dependent on erroneous frames to mitigate the effects of error propagation spatially and temporally. Simulation results show the proposed AIR method achieves significant improvements in both objective and subjective video quality compared to two other H.264 schemes at different intra refresh rates, especially in error-prone environments.
ROBUST ADAPTIVE INTRA REFRESH FOR MULTIVIEW VIDEOIJCSEA Journal
Transmission error propagation in wireless multimedia communication systems has become a recurring
problem. This persistent problem has led to grave consequences on the visual quality of the decoded video.
It is against this backdrop that, we present an adaptive intra refresh (AIR) error-resilient coding tool to
mitigate the effect of transmission error propagation in 3D video communications. This work utilizes
periodic insertion of intra macroblocks in badly error-infected frames temporally as well as related frames
in the multi view video scheme. Our objective is to maximize the transmission efficiency while ensuring the
transmission robustness of the coded bitstream. The selection of periodic macroblocks is based on areas
with high motion above a pre-set threshold. The coding modes of the macroblocks are based on the
distortion expectation due to transmission errors. Extensive simulation results show significant
improvement in both objective and subjective video quality at different intra refresh rates.

IRJET- Comparison and Simulation based Analysis of an Optimized Block Mat...IRJET Journal
This document compares an optimized block matching algorithm to the four step search algorithm. It first provides background on block matching algorithms and motion estimation techniques used in video compression. It then describes the existing four step search algorithm and its process of checking 17-27 points to find the best motion vector match. The document proposes a new simpler and more efficient four step search algorithm that separates the search area into quadrants. It checks 3 points in the first phase to select a quadrant, then finds the lowest cost point in the second phase to set as the new origin, reducing computational complexity compared to the standard four step search.
The document discusses video transcoding for mobile telephony. It motivates the need for video transcoding by describing how mobile users may experience bandwidth reductions during calls, requiring the video bitrate to be lowered. It then provides an overview of video coding standards and how transcoding can convert a compressed video stream to a different format, resolution, frame rate or quality level. Future work is proposed to address video transcoding challenges caused by temporary bandwidth reductions during mobile calls.
NEW IMPROVED 2D SVD BASED ALGORITHM FOR VIDEO CODINGcscpconf
Video compression is one of the most important blocks of an image acquisition system.
Compression of video results in reduction of transmission bandwidth. In real time video
compression the incoming video data is directly compressed without being stored first.
Therefore real time video compression system operates under stringent timing constraints.
Current video compression standards like MPEG, H.26x series, involve emotion estimation and
compensation blocks which are highly computationally expensive and hence they are not
suitable for real time applications on resource scarce systems. Current applications like video
calling, video conferencing require low complexity video compression algorithms so that they
can be implemented in environments that have scarce computational resources (like mobile
phones). A low complexity video compression algorithm based on 2D SVD exists. In this paper, a modification to that algorithm which provides higher PSNR at the same bit rate is presented.
International Journal of Engineering Research and DevelopmentIJERD Editor
The document summarizes an emerging VP8 video codec that is designed for mobile devices. It aims to significantly reduce computational complexity through several techniques while maintaining good video quality. The key techniques include a predictive algorithm for motion estimation that reduces computation by 18.5-20x compared to full search, using integer discrete cosine transform instead of floating point to achieve 2.6-3.5x speed improvement, and skipping DCT and quantization for some macroblocks to reduce computations. Experimental results on test sequences show negligible quality degradation of 0.2-0.5dB for integer DCT and 0.5dB on average for the full codec, while achieving real-time encoding rates on mobile devices. The proposed low-complexity
A Wavelet - Based Object Watermarking System for MPEG4 VideoCSCJournals
Efficient storage, transmission and use of video information are key requirements in many multimedia applications currently being addressed by MPEG-4. To fulfill these requirements, a new approach for representing video information which relies on an object-based representation, has been adopted. Therefore, object-based watermarking schemes are needed for copyright protection. This paper presents a novel object based watermarking solution for MPEG4 video authentication using the shape adaptive-discrete wavelet transform (SA-DWT). In order to make the watermark robust and transparent, the watermark is embedded in the average of wavelet blocks using the visual model based on the human visual system. Wavelet coefficients n least significant bits (LSBs) are adjusted in concert with the average. Simulation results shows that the proposed watermarking scheme is perceptually invisible and robust against many attacks such as lossy compression (e.g. MPEG1 and MPEG2,MPEG-4,H264)

Survey paper on image compression techniquesIRJET Journal
This document summarizes and compares several popular image compression techniques: wavelet compression, JPEG/DCT compression, vector quantization (VQ), fractal compression, and genetic algorithm compression. It finds that all techniques perform satisfactorily at 0.5 bits per pixel, but for very low bit rates like 0.25 bpp, wavelet compression techniques like EZW perform best in terms of compression ratio and quality. Specifically, EZW and JPEG are more practical than others at low bit rates. The document also notes advantages and disadvantages of each technique and concludes hybrid approaches may achieve even higher compression ratios while maintaining image quality.

EFFICIENT ADAPTIVE INTRA REFRESH ERROR RESILIENCE FOR 3D VIDEO COMMUNICATIONIJCSEA Journal
3D video wireless communication is being repeatedly called upon to play a greater role in the quest for economic and political stability, peace and understanding in the world. However, excessive error propagation in compressed 3D video can dramatically decrease perceived quality of experience (QoE). Recent error control strategies suggested that using adaptive intra refresh (AIR) tool is a good candidate for fulfilling quality of service (QoS) requirements for 3D video transmission over wireless networks. We propose multi-view video AIR (MVV-AIR) based on H.264/advance video coding (AVC) to mitigate transmission error propagation in a two-way communication system. With the MVV-AIR, both high active macroblocks and channel bit error rate (BER)are computed to generate MVV-AIR refresh map. The generated map is used to periodically insert a cyclic intra-refresh line macroblock to suppress spatiotemporal error propagation. Experimental results show that MVV-AIR outperforms traditional refresh scheme in error prone transmission environment with improved objective and subjective visual quality.
LAND OWNERSHIP RIGHTS AND ACCESS TO FARMLANDS BY FARMERS AND HERDERS IN THE K...IJCSEA Journal
Land is seen in societies as a vital natural asset, and the worth of this resource to human through time and
space cannot be underestimated. The purpose of this research was to examine land ownership rights and
access to farmlands by farmers and herders in the Kwahu East District (KED) in the Eastern Region of
Ghana. Qualitatively, the study adopted a descriptive case study research design. This research was based
on two objectives: to examine land ownership rights in the Kwahu East District, and determine how
farmers and herders get access to farmlands. The study population involved residents of three communities
in the Kwahu East District, namely, Yaw Tenkorang, Kwaku Sarfo and Bebua. The purposive sampling
technique was used to select 4 traditional leaders, 10 farmers, 10 herdsmen and cattle owners, 3 Assembly
members, the District Chief Executive, the District Commander of Police, and the District Land Officer.
The study concluded that, land ownership rights in KED were based on the allodia and usufruct systems,
which vest land ownership rights in the hands of traditional authorities and family heads. Again, the study
showed that, indigenous farmers lay claim to greater rights over the lands compared to herders who are
considered as aliens, without any land ownerswhip rights. The study revealed measures initiated to find
lasting solution to this conflict. It is recommended that; the Municipal Assembly must concentrate more
effort in establishiing adequate fodder banks for cattle. Again, the practice of ranching must be
encouraged amongst cattle owners and herders to prevent unwanted competition over land use.

High Performance Architecture for Full Search Block matching Algorithmiosrjce
Video compression has two major issues to be handled, one is video compression rate and other one
is quality. There is always a trade-off between speed and quality. Full search block matching algorithm
(FSBMA) is most popular motion estimation algorithm. But high computational complexity is the major
challenge of FSBM. This makes FSBM to be very difficult to use for real time video processing with the low
power batteries. Other algorithm gives better speed on the expense of quality of video. The proposed algorithm
i.e. modified full search block matching algorithm (MFSBMA) reduces the computational complexity by keeping
the PSNR same as of FSBMA. MFSBMA skips the SAD calculations for a current background macroblock and it
does SAD calculations for foreground current microblock. This method reduces SAD calculations drastically.
This work presents apipelined architecture forMFSBMA which can work on real time HDTV video processing.
The proposed algorithm reduces computational complexity by 50% keeping PSNR same with the full search
algorithm.
Video compression deals with reducing the large size of uncompressed video data by exploiting both spatial and temporal redundancy in video. Spatial redundancy refers to correlations between nearby pixels within a frame, while temporal redundancy refers to similarities between adjacent frames. Video compression aims to efficiently reduce these redundancies to achieve higher compression ratios through techniques like predictive coding of frames, motion compensation to account for object movement, and encoding of residual blocks.

It concludes that implementing encryption standards like RSA and AES can make transactions more secure and build trust in online banking.
This document analyzes the performance of various modulation schemes for achieving energy efficient communication over fading channels in wireless sensor networks. It finds that for long transmission distances, low-order modulations like BPSK are optimal due to their lower SNR requirements. However, as transmission distance decreases, higher-order modulations like 16-QAM and 64-QAM become more optimal since they can transmit more bits per symbol, outweighing their higher SNR needs. Simulations show lifetime extensions up to 550% are possible in short-range networks by using higher-order modulations instead of just BPSK. The optimal modulation depends on transmission distance and balancing the energy used by electronic components versus power amplifiers.

The document also discusses mobility management challenges in VANETs and outlines some open research issues in improving mobility management for seamless communication in these dynamic networks.
This document provides a review of different techniques for segmenting brain MRI images to detect tumors. It compares the K-means and Fuzzy C-means clustering algorithms. K-means is an exclusive clustering algorithm that groups data points into distinct clusters, while Fuzzy C-means is an overlapping clustering algorithm that allows data points to belong to multiple clusters.

2) The results show that both protocols have higher packet delivery and lower packet loss when users are either fixed or moving towards the base station, since signal strength is better in those scenarios. Performance degrades when users move away from the base station due to weaker signals.
3) AODV generally has better performance than DSDV, with higher throughput and packet delivery rates observed across the different user mobility conditions.

Simulation results show scatter plots and eye diagrams of the modulated signals. A table compares the results, showing that 256-bit QAM provides better performance than 4-bit QPSK. The document concludes that QAM modulation is more effective for digital transmission systems.
The document proposes a hybrid technique using Anisotropic Scale Invariant Feature Transform (A-SIFT) and Robust Ensemble Support Vector Machine (RESVM) to accurately identify faces in images. A-SIFT improves upon traditional SIFT by applying anisotropic scaling to extract richer directional keypoints. Keypoints are processed with RESVM and hypothesis testing to increase accuracy above 95% by repeatedly reprocessing images until the threshold is met. The technique was tested on similar and different facial images and achieved better results than SIFT in retrieval time and reduced keypoints.
This document studies the effects of dielectric superstrate thickness on microstrip patch antenna parameters. Three types of probes-fed patch antennas (rectangular, circular, and square) were designed to operate at 2.4 GHz using Arlondiclad 880 substrate. The antennas were tested with and without an Arlondiclad 880 superstrate of varying thicknesses. It was found that adding a superstrate slightly degraded performance by lowering the resonant frequency and increasing return loss and VSWR, while decreasing bandwidth and gain. Specifically, increasing the superstrate thickness or dielectric constant resulted in greater changes to the antenna parameters.

3) Altering the permeability of the ferrite allows tuning of the antenna's resonant frequency without changing the physical dimensions, providing flexibility to operate over a wide frequency range.
This document summarizes a research paper that presents a speech enhancement method using stationary wavelet transform. The method first classifies speech into voiced, unvoiced, and silence regions based on short-time energy. It then applies different thresholding techniques to the wavelet coefficients of each region - modified hard thresholding for voiced speech, semi-soft thresholding for unvoiced speech, and setting coefficients to zero for silence. Experimental results using speech from the TIMIT database corrupted with white Gaussian noise at various SNR levels show improved performance over other popular denoising methods.
This document reviews the design of an energy-optimized wireless sensor node that encrypts data for transmission. It discusses how sensing schemes that group nodes into clusters and transmit aggregated data can reduce energy consumption compared to individual node transmissions. The proposed node design calculates the minimum transmission power needed based on received signal strength and uses a periodic sleep/wake cycle to optimize energy when not sensing or transmitting. It aims to encrypt data at both the node and network level to further optimize energy usage for wireless communication.
This document discusses group consumption modes. It analyzes factors that impact group consumption, including external environmental factors like technological developments enabling new forms of online and offline interactions, as well as internal motivational factors at both the group and individual level. The document then proposes that group consumption modes can be divided into four types based on two dimensions: vertical (group relationship intensity) and horizontal (consumption action period). These four types are instrument-oriented, information-oriented, enjoyment-oriented, and relationship-oriented consumption modes. Finally, the document notes that consumption modes are dynamic and can evolve over time.
The document summarizes a study of different microstrip patch antenna configurations with slotted ground planes. Three antenna designs were proposed and their performance evaluated through simulation: a conventional square patch, an elliptical patch, and a star-shaped patch. All antennas were mounted on an FR4 substrate. The effects of adding different slot patterns to the ground plane on resonance frequency, bandwidth, gain and efficiency were analyzed parametrically. Key findings were that reshaping the patch and adding slots increased bandwidth and shifted resonance frequency. The elliptical and star patches in particular performed better than the conventional design. Three antenna configurations were selected for fabrication and measurement based on the simulations: a conventional patch with a slot under the patch, an elliptical patch with slots

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Enhanced Adaptively Space-Time-View Error Concealment for
3D Multi-View Video Transmission over Noisy Channels
Walid El-Shafai
Department of Electronics and Communications Engineering, Faculty of Electronic Engineering, Menoufia
University, Menouf, 32952, Egypt.
Abstract: Decoding of 3D multi-view video coded bit-streams that are transmitted over noisy channels can
suffer from error propagation in the space, time and view domains. To improve the quality of reconstructed 3D
video, we propose adaptive Error Concealment (EC) algorithms to conceal the erroneous blocks of intra-coded
and inter-coded frames. Our proposed algorithms adapt to the motion characteristics of the 3D video and to the
error patterns. We propose three adaptive EC algorithms for intra-frames, which are Adaptive Time Domain
Error Concealment (ATDEC), Adaptive Space Domain Error Concealment (ASDEC) and a hybrid Adaptive
Space-Time Domain Error Concealment (ASTDEC). We also propose three adaptive EC algorithms for inter-
frames, which are Adaptive Inter-View Domain Error Concealment (AIVDEC), Adaptive Time Domain Error
Concealment (ATDEC) and joint Adaptive Time and Inter-View Domain Error Concealment (ATIVDEC). Our

I. INTRODUCTION
Multi-view video has received a huge attention lately and is expected to quickly replace traditional 2D
video in different applications. In Multi-view Video Coding (MVC), the original video content is a group of
video sequences captured for the same scene by multiple cameras at the same time and from different viewpoint
angles. Multi-view video sequences exhibit high inter-view correlation, in addition to the spatio-temporal
correlations within each view. Error Concealment (EC) exploits this advantage of inter-view and intra-view
correlations to conceal erroneous packets or frames [1]. EC algorithms are attractive as they neither require
encoder changes nor they result in increasing the transmission delay or bit rate [2, 3]. In our previous work [4],
we proposed different EC algorithms to recover the lost Macro-Blocks (MBs) of intra and inter coded frames by
exploiting the temporal, spatial and inter-view correlations between frames and views.
In [4], temporal EC deploys External Block Boundary Matching Algorithm (EBBMA) [5], and spatial
and inter-view EC deploy Weight Pixel Averaging Algorithm (WPAA) [6]. To further improve the quality of
decoded 3D video, we propose, in this paper, adaptive EC algorithms that adapt to the motion characteristics of
the received 3D MVC video sequence (slow or fast moving video) and to the locations of error patterns. In this
work, we propose adaptive EC algorithms for 3D MVC sequences generated by using the Joint MVC (JMVC)
reference software based on H.264/AVC [3]. In this paper, temporal EC adapts and selects between three
different EC modes which are Frame Temporal Replacement Algorithm (FTRA), EBBMA, and Decoder Motion
Vector Estimation Algorithm (DMVEA) [5]. Also, spatial and inter-view EC adapt and choose between two
different EC modes which are WPAA and Directional Interpolation EC Algorithm (DIECA) [6].
The rest of this paper is organized as follows: Section 2 presents the proposed error concealment
algorithms for intra- frames and inter-frames, Section 3 presents our experimental simulation results and Section
4 concludes the paper.
II. PROPOSED ADAPTIVE MVC EC ALGORITHMS
Fig. 1. shows a high-level flow chart of our proposed adaptive space-time-view MVC EC decoder
algorithm at the decoder. Fig. 1 shows when each of the component algorithms should be invoked. In this
section, we explain in details each of the component algorithms of our proposed MVC EC algorithm.

Fig.1 Adaptive Space-Time-View MVC EC Algorithms.
2.1 Intra-Frame Space-Time Error Concealment
Due to the predictive coding structure of MVC (cf. Fig. 2 [7]), EC of MVC intra-frames is not only
important for improving the video quality of decoded intra-frames but is also important for efficient
reconstruction of inter-frames in the subsequent frames and views.
Fig. 2 Efficient Prediction Structure for MVC Proposed [7].
The simplest temporal EC technique is FTRA method [5], which is suitable and acceptable for static
and very slow 3D MVC sequences, where the lost MBs are replaced by the MBs located at the same spatial
location in the reference frame. On the other hand, the more sophisticated temporal EC techniques are the
EBBMA and the DMVEA methods [5].
In EBBMA algorithm, the decoder determines the Motion Vectors (MVs) for error-free neighboring
pixels in the reference frames which are adjacent to the lost MBs and replace the lost MBs with the MBs in the
reference frames that minimize the boundary error to the correctly received adjacent MBs. So, it only uses the
outer borders of the reference MBs to check the highly correlated neighborhood MVs and the neighborhood
MBs can be predicted using Disparity Vectors (DVs) values. In DMVEA algorithm, the decoder estimates the
MVs of the lost blocks by using a full search in the reference frames, and it is useful in identifying the replacing
MBs that minimize the boundary distortion error.
In EBBMA and DMVEA algorithms, the best matching MBs are searched in the reference frames by
reducing a Sum of Absolute Differences (SAD) [8], between boundary pixels of the corrupted MBs in the
current frame and their corresponding correlated pixels in the reference frame. Generally, DMVEA presents
better EC performance than EBBMA. However, depending on the patterns or locations of the corrupted MBs,
EBBMA may achieve approximately the same visual quality as compared with DMVEA. Therefore, the SAD
value can be a suitable method for comparing the performance of EBBMA and DMVEA. So, on general the
DMVEA algorithm leads to improvement in concealment performance and is considered as more powerful and
effective than the EBBMA algorithm.
Consider an intra-frame with a missing Macro-Block (MB) as shown in Fig. 3. The vectors PU1, PU2,
PR1, PR2, PB1, PB2, PL1, and PL2 consist of the outside boundary pixels of the upper, right, bottom and left sides
of the missing MB, respectively. The upper, right, bottom and left inner boundary pixels of the candidate MB

are represented by the vectors XU1, XU2, XR1, XR2, XB1, XB2, XL1 and XL2, respectively [5]. The MVs between
the adjacent sub-blocks and their matching blocks can be calculated by the following equations (1-6).
Fig. 3 8 Sub-Blocks Adjacent to the Lost MB and their Matching Sub-Blocks and Candidate Blocks in the
Previous Frame.
The hybrid space-time EC algorithm invokes the adaptive time domain and space domain EC
algorithms as detailed below, and illustrated in Fig. 4.
Algorithm 1: Intra-Frame Adaptive Time Domain EC (ATDEC) Algorithm
1. Find the locations of the lost MBs inside I frame.
2. Apply Scene Change Detection Algorithm [6], to decide "Is the received 3D MVC video fast or slow
moving video?".
3. Select between the three ATDEC algorithms (FTRA or EBBMA or DMVEA) depending on step (2), as
noticed in Fig. 4:
If the received video is a slow moving video, Then
Apply the FTRA algorithm.
Replace the lost MBs by the MBs located at the same spatial positions in the previous frame.
If the received video is a fast moving video, Then
Find the 8x8 adjacent sub-blocks to the lost MB i.e., U1, U2, R1, R2, B1, B2, L1 and L2 and their matching
blocks U1', U2', R1', R2', B1', B2', L1' and L2' in the reference frame as shown in Fig. 3.
Calculate the MVs between the adjacent sub-blocks and their matching blocks by using (3-6) for the two
proposed EBBMA and DMVEA algorithms.
Select the candidates MBs that give the smallest SAD value given by (2).
Select between the EBBMA algorithm and the DMVEA algorithm depending on SAD value; If the
calculated SAD value is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold, e.g. 0.2, apply EBBMA
algorithm, otherwise apply DMVEA algorithm.
Average MVs values of the candidates MBs.
Replace the lost MBs with the candidates MBs by using the averaged calculated value.
The WPAA and DIECA algorithms are used for spatial and inter-view EC. WPAA algorithm conceals
the damaged pixels using the horizontal and vertical pixels in the neighboring blocks. DIECA algorithm
conceals the damaged pixels by calculating the object edge direction from the neighboring blocks, where the
object edge direction with the largest magnitude is chosen as the direction to be used to conceal the damaged
MBs [9].
DIECA algorithm introduces two main problems which are: (1) it may fail when concealing the
damaged MBs that are at the corner of the frame, and (2) it may fail when concealing the lost MBs that are at
the edge of the frame. So, our proposed ASDEC algorithm is able to choose the most appropriate EC algorithm
to use, either DIECA or WPAA algorithm. In the following algorithm, we propose to apply WPAA algorithm
and drop DIECA algorithm if the damaged MBs are at the corner or at the edge of the frame.

versa.
6. Set appropriate coefficient values to averaged values of MVs and DVs ( avg (MVs) and avg (DVs),
respectively) depending on Scene Change Detection Algorithm [6]:
If Temporal information < Spatial information
Candidate MB = 1/3 avg (MVs) + 2/3 avg (DVs).
Else
Candidate MB = 2/3 avg (MVs) + 1/3 avg (DVs).
7. Replace the lost MBs with the candidates MBs calculated using the weighted average of MVs and DVs as
in last step.

2.2 Inter-Frame Time Inter-View Error Concealment
EC of inter-view frames (B and P frames) should be different across views based on the MVC
prediction structure of Fig. 2. In even views (e.g. S2, S4 and S6), the first frame is concealed using left inter-view
frames as reference frames whereas other frames are concealed using the previous and following frames in the
same view as the reference frames. In odd views (e.g. S 1, S3 and S5), EC is done using the previous and
following frames in the same view as well as the left and right frames in the adjacent views as the reference
frames. Thus, except the first frames, there are two candidate blocks for EC of lost MBs of inter-frames in even
views, and four candidates for EC of lost MBs of inter-frames in odd views. This is also illustrated in Fig. 2. Our
proposed adaptive inter-frame EC algorithm has three EC modes as described below:
Algorithm 4: Even-view P Frame Adaptive Inter-View Domain EC (AIVDEC) Algorithm
1. Find the locations of the lost MBs inside P frame.
2. Apply WPAA Algorithm or DIECA Algorithm, as illustrated in Fig. 4, to find the matching pixels inside
the left frame depending on the locations and the pattern of the lost MBs.
3. Apply step 2 in the Algorithm 2 in the left frame.
4. Average DVs values of the candidates MBs calculated in step 3.
5. Replace the lost MBs with the candidate MBs by using the averaged calculated value.
Algorithm 5: Even-view B Frame Adaptive Time Domain EC (ATDEC) Algorithm
1. Find the locations of the lost MBs inside B frame.
2. Apply Scene Change Detection Algorithm [6], to decide " Is the received 3D MVC video fast or slow
moving video?".
3. Select between the three ATDEC algorithms (FTRA or EBBMA or DMVEA) depending on step 2, as
observed in Fig. 4 to find the matching pixels inside the previous and subsequent frames.
4. Apply step 3 of the Algorithm 1 for pixels inside the previous and subsequent frames.
Algorithm 6: Odd-view Inter-Frame Adaptive Time Inter-View Domain EC (ATIVDEC) Algorithm
1. Find the locations of the lost MBs inside B frame.
2. Check if Temporal information > Spatial information or vice versa.
3. Apply steps 2 of Algorithm 4 and step 3 of Algorithms 5.
4. Search for the most matched candidates MVs and DVs to the lost MB within previous, subsequent, left and
right frames.
5. Average DVs and MVs values of the candidates MBs.
6. Apply Scene Change Detection Algorithm [6], to check if Temporal information > Spatial information or
vice versa.
7. Set appropriate coefficient values to averaged values of MVs and DVs ( avg (MVs) and avg (DVs),
respectively) depending on Scene Change Detection Algorithm [6]:
If Temporal information < Spatial information
Candidate MB = 1/3 avg (MVs) + 2/3 avg (DVs).
Else
Candidate MB = 2/3 avg (MVs) + 1/3 avg (DVs).
8. Replace the lost MBs with candidate MBs by using the weighted average of MVs and DVs calculated in
last step.
III. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS
To evaluate the performance of the proposed EC algorithms, we run some experiments on well-known
video sequences [10]. For each sequence, the coded bit-streams are transmitted over a noisy channel with
random Packet Loss Rates (PLRs) of 3%, 5%, 10% or 20%. The received bit-stream is then decoded by our
proposed adaptive EC algorithms. It is assumed that the decoder can detect the locations of lost MBs.
Fig. 5. shows the subjective experimental results for the "Uli" sequence, which is a slow moving
sequence. We select the 209th intra-coded frame at channel PLR=20%. We recovered the 209 th intra-frame with
the three proposed ASDEC, ATDEC and ASTDEC algorithms. The corresponding objective Peak Signal to
Noise Ratio (PSNR) results for the same frame is shown in Fig. 6c at different channel PLRs. We observe that
the hybrid ASTDEC has the best subjective and objective results compared to ATDEC and ASDEC algorithms,
as the ASTDEC algorithm efficiently exploits the redundant information in both space and time domains. In Fig.
6a, we compare between the performance of deploying proposed ATDEC algorithm, (which adapts between
FTRA, EBBMA, and DMVEA modes), and deploying either of FTRA or EBBMA or DMVEA algorithms only.
Due to slow motion, FTRA algorithm gave better PSNR than DMVEA, which performed better than EBBMA
algorithm, especially at low PLR. (The opposite was observed for the fast moving "Ballroom" video sequence).
In Fig. 6b, we compare between the performance of deploying proposed ASDEC algorithm, which adaptively
deploys either the WPAA or DIECA algorithm, and deploying either the WPAA or DIECA algorithm only. We

observe that the DIECA algorithm gives higher objective results than WPAA algorithm. Fig. 6a and Fig. 6b
show how our proposed adaptive EC algorithms correctly choose the component EC algorithm that best suits
each error location, frame and video type.

To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed adaptive EC algorithms for P and B inter-frames, the
"Ballroom" sequence was tested with low complexity parameters [4] at the decoder which makes the EC process
more practical. In the experimental tests, the P and B inter-view frames in views S1 and S2 are corrupted, with
different random packet loss rates of 3%, 5%, 10% and 20%. The frames are recovered with the proposed
adaptive EC Algorithms. Fig. 7, and Fig. 8 show the subjective simulation results of the odd and even views of
the "Ballroom" sequence, respectively. It is noted that in Fig. 7b, the 209 th inter B frame in view S1 is concealed
by using our proposed hybrid ATIVDEC algorithm without first error-concealing the intra-frame, while in Fig.
7c the intra-frame is also recovered using our EC algorithms. This demonstrates the importance of intra-frame
EC. Fig.8 shows the subjective results of the 209 th inter P frame in view S2 recovered using AIVDEC algorithm
in Fig. 8b without deploying intra-frame EC and in Fig. 8c with using intra-frame EC.

frame EC. We also observe that the adaptive joint space-time-view EC algorithm proposed in this paper offers
significant PSNR improvements over the non-adaptive joint algorithm previously proposed in [4].

IV. CONCLUSIONS
In this paper, we have proposed low-complexity adaptive error concealment (EC) algorithms for 3D
multi-view video coded (MVC) sequences corrupted by random channel errors. The main crux of our proposed
algorithms is to adaptively and jointly utilize the spatial, temporal and inter-view correlations in MVC
sequences for EC of both intra-frames and inter-frames. The proposed EC algorithm adapts to the video speed as
well as to the error locations. Our experimental results show that our proposed adaptive hybrid time domain,
space domain and inter-view domain EC algorithms are significantly superior to conventional EC algorithms
that exploit correlation in only the space domain or only the time domain, e.g. [3, 6, 7, 8]. Our results
demonstrate the importance of EC of intra-frames as it affects the quality of inter-frames error-concealment as
well. We also show that the enhanced adaptive EC algorithm of this paper achieves better subjective video
quality than the non-adaptive space-time-view algorithm previously proposed in [4], as well significant gain in
objective PSNR. We conclude that the adaptive joint space-time-view EC algorithms proposed in this paper can
conceal errors and lost MBs of MVC intra-frames and inter-frames efficiently, and delivering high quality 3D
multi-view video.
