Further Information
In this paper we compare two schemes for error-resilient video transmission, viz., systematic lossy error protection, and scalable coding with unequal error protection. In the first scheme, the systematic portion consists of the compressed video signal transmitted without channel coding. For error-resilience, an additional bitstream generated by Wyner-Ziv encoding of the video signal is transmitted. In the event of channel errors. the Wyner-Ziv description is decoded using the error-prone systematic description as side-information. In the second scheme, the video bitstream is partitioned into two or more layers, and each layer is assigned different amounts of parity information depending upon its relative significance. Since the base layer has heavy protection, a certain minimum video quality is guaranteed at the receiver. We compare experimentally, the performance of the competing schemes, for a particular application, i.e., Error-resilient digital video broadcasting. It is shown that systematic lossy error protection ensures graceful degradation of video quality without incurring the loss in rate-distortion performance characteristic of practical layered video coding schemes.
