Frame distortion estimation for unequal error protection methods in scalable video coding (SVC)

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose an accurate low complexity utility estimation technique that can be used in different applications.

• This technique estimates the utility of each network abstraction layer (NAL) by considering the error propagation to future frames.

• We utilize this method in an UEP framework with the scalable extension of H.264/AVC codec.

• It achieves almost the same performance as highly complex estimation techniques (an average loss of 0.05 dB).

• We propose a low delay version of this technique that can be used in delay constraint application.
