Typical Situation of 3G/4G cellular telephony Introduction Typical Situation of 3G/4G cellular telephony

What is Error Concealment? The operation adopted to reconstruct lost information for video transmission over wireless networks. Need: Compatible with all video streaming devices. Applications: Recovery of lost information which is comparable with encoded video sequence with minimal complexity.

Error Concealment Architecture

Overview of H.264 / AVC Latest Video coding standard Basic design architecture similar to MPEG-x or H.26x Better compression efficiency Upto 50% bitrate reduction from the preceding video codec standard Subjective quality is better Wide variety of applications such as video broadcasting, video streaming, video conferencing, D-Cinema, HDTV. Layered structure - consists of two layers: Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) and Video Coding Layer (VCL); supports 4:2:0 chroma sampling picture format including QCIF and CIF formats

H.264 / AVC Encoder/Decoder Blocks(contd.)

H.264 / AVC Encoder/Decoder Blocks Transform: Int DCT and Hadamard Quantization: Scalar quantization Motion estimation: Hierarchical motion estimation Motion compensation Intra-Frame prediction Entropy coding: Variable Length Coding In-loop de-blocking filter

Transform 4x4 multiplier-free integer transform Transform coefficients perfectly invertible Hierarchical structure - 4 x 4 Integer DCT, Hadamard transform Hadamard transform applied when (16x16) intra prediction mode is used with (4x4) integer DCT MB size for chroma depends on 4:2:0, 4:2:2 and 4:4:4 formats

Transform (contd.) YUV different formats 4:4:4 is full bandwidth YUV video, and each macroblock consists of 4 Y blocks, and 4 U/V blocks. Being full bandwidth, this format contains as much as data would if it were in the RGB color space. 4:2:2 contains half as much chrominance information as 4:4:4 and 4:2:0 contains one quarter of the chrominance information.

Transform (contd.) Codec - A video codec is software/hardware that can compress a video source (encoding) as well as play compressed video (decompress). CIF - Common Intermediate Format - a set of standard video formats used in videoconferencing, defined by their resolution. The original CIF is also known as Full CIF (FCIF). QCIF - Quarter CIF (resolution 176x144) SQCIF - Sub quarter CIF (resolution 128x96) 4CIF - 4 x CIF (resolution 704x576) 16CIF - 16 x CIF (resolution 1408x1152

H.264 / AVC Encoder/Decoder Blocks Transform: Int DCT and Hadamard Quantization: Scalar quantization Motion estimation: Hierarchical motion estimation Motion compensation Intra-Frame prediction Entropy coding: Variable Length Coding In-loop de-blocking filter

Scaling and Quantization Multiplication operation for exact transform combined with multiplication of scalar quantization Scale factor for each element in each sub-block varies as a function of quantization parameter associated with macro-block that contains sub block; position of element within sub-block Encoder performs post-scaling and quantization

H.264 / AVC Encoder/Decoder Blocks Transform: Int DCT and Hadamard Quantization: Scalar quantization Motion estimation: Hierarchical motion estimation Motion compensation Intra-Frame prediction Entropy coding: Variable Length Coding In-loop de-blocking filter

Motion Compensation Predicted rectangular arrays of pixels: 4x4, 4x8, 8x4, 8x8, 16x8, 8x16, and 16x16. Translation from other array positions in reference picture specified with quarter pixel precision.

Motion Compensation (contd.) A MB can be partitioned into smaller block sizes 4 cases for 16 x 16 MB, 4 cases for 8 x 8 Sub-MB Large partition size : homogeneous areas, small : detailed areas

H.264 / AVC Encoder/Decoder Blocks Transform: Int DCT and Hadamard Quantization: Scalar quantization Motion estimation: Hierarchical motion estimation Motion compensation Intra-Frame prediction Entropy coding: Variable Length Coding In-loop de-blocking filter

Intra-Frame prediction Exploits Spatial redundancy between adjacent macroblocks in a frame 4 x 4 luma block 9 prediction modes : 8 Directional predictions and 1 DC prediction (vertical : 0, horizontal : 1, DC : 2, diagonal down left : 3, diagonal down right : 4, vertical right : 5, horizontal down : 6, vertical left : 7, horizontal up : 8) a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p A B C D I J K L M E F G H mode 1 mode 6 mode 0 mode 5 mode 4 mode 8 mode 3 mode 7 samples a, b, …, p : the predicted ones for the current block, above and left samples A, B, …, M : previously reconstructed ones

H.264 / AVC Encoder/Decoder Blocks Transform: Int DCT and Hadamard Quantization: Scalar quantization Motion estimation: Hierarchical motion estimation Motion compensation Intra-Frame prediction Entropy coding: Variable Length Coding In-loop de-blocking filter

Entropy Coding All syntax elements other than residual transform coefficients are encoded by the Exp-Golomb codes (UVLC) Scan order to read the residual data (quantized transform coefficients) : zig-zag, alternate Context-based Adaptive Variable Length Coding (CAVLC) in All Profiles Context-based Adaptive Binary Arithmetic Coding (CABAC) in Main Profile Zig-zag scan Alternate scan

H.264 / AVC Encoder/Decoder Blocks Transform: Int DCT and Hadamard Quantization: Scalar quantization Motion estimation: Hierarchical motion estimation Motion compensation Intra-Frame prediction Entropy coding: Variable Length Coding In-loop de-blocking filter

Deblocking filter To reduce the blocking artifacts in the block boundary and prevent the propagation of accumulated coded noise. Filtering is applied to horizontal or vertical edges of 4 x 4 blocks in a macroblock, adaptively on the several levels (slice, block-edge, sample).

Television Broadcasting H.264/AVC Profiles Profiles and Levels for particular applications Profile : a subset of entire bit stream of syntax, different decoder design based on the Profile Four profiles : Baseline, Main, Extended and High Profile Applications Baseline Video Conferencing Videophone Main Digital Storage Media Television Broadcasting Extended Streaming Video High Studio editing

Specific coding parts for the Profiles

Specific coding parts for the Profiles (contd.) Common coding parts for the Profiles I slice (Intra-coded slice) : the coded slice by using prediction only from decoded samples within the same slice P slice (Predictive-coded slice) : the coded slice by using inter prediction from previously-decoded reference pictures, using more than one motion vector and reference index to predict the sample values of each block CAVLC (Context-based Adaptive Variable Length Coding) for entropy coding

Specific coding parts for the Profiles (contd.) Coding parts for Baseline Profile Common parts : I slice, P slice, CAVLC FMO Flexible macroblock order : macroblocks may not necessarily be in the raster scan order. The map assigns macroblocks to a slice group ASO Arbitrary slice order : the macroblock address of the first macroblock of a slice of a picture may be smaller than the macroblock address of the first macroblock of some other preceding slice of the same coded picture RS Redundant slice : This slice belongs to the redundant coded data obtained by same or different coding rate, in comparison with previous coded data of same slice

Prediction of variable block size (contd.) Frame divided into multiple macroblocks of 16 x 16, 8 x 8, 4 x 4 variable size to represent coding profiles No. of bits in I and P frames I P I Graph shows the size of the different I and P frames obtained after encoding 19 frames of the Foreman QCIF video sequence. Green line shows the average values of the bit lost when it is passed through the lossy algorithm after encoding in a video sequence

Error Concealment Algorithm 1.Spatial Concealment – weighted averaging: Estimate missing pixels by smoothly extrapolating surrounding pixels Correctly recovering missing pixels is extremely difficult, however correctly estimating the DC (average) value is very helpful 2.Temporal Concealment – copy algorithm: Copy the pixels at the same spatial location in the previous frame Effective when there is no motion, potential problems when there is motion 3.Motion compensated temporal Concealment–motion vector interpolation: Estimate missing block as motion-compensated block from previous frame Can use coded motion vector, neighboring motion vector, or compute new motion vector

Temporal Concealment – Frame Copy Frames# 5, 6 and 7 are the output of H.264 encoded frames after it is transmitted in the error prone wireless medium Frame# 5 is the decoded frame. Here Frame# 6 successfully copied lost information from Frame 5 by copy algorithm; Frame #7 is degraded (Because Frame#7 is reconstructed bycollecting the information from previous reference frames)

Conclusions Implementation of spatial concealment performed better in a video with constant background. Implementation of temporal concealment (Copy) performed better in a video with linear motion between consecutive frames. Implementation of temporal concealment (Motion Vector) performed better in a video with dynamic motion between consecutive frames. At higher bit rates: spatial and temporal concealments achieved better results. Complexity of implementation is negligible and does not degrade in the processor performance.

Future Research Implementing Error Concealment algorithm in H.264/SVC video codec as it does not support error concealment in current implementation. Use forward and backward MVs. Implementing Error Concealment algorithm in H.264 extended and High profiles. Implementing Error Concealment model for real time application like video surveillance.
