Abstract

3D video transmission over erroneous networks is still a considerable issue due to restricted resources and the presence of severe channel errors. Efficiently compressing 3D video with low transmission rate, while maintaining a high quality of received 3D video, is very challenging. Since it is not plausible to re-transmit all the corrupted macro-blocks (MBs) due to real time applications and limited resources. Thus it is mandatory to retrieve the lost MBs at the decoder side using sufficient post-processing schemes, such as error concealment (EC). In this paper, we propose an adaptive multi-mode EC (AMMEC) algorithm at the decoder based on utilizing pre-processing flexible macro-block ordering error resilience (FMO-ER) technique at the encoder; to efficiently conceal the erroneous MBs of intra and inter coded frames of 3D video. Experimental simulation results show that the proposed FMO-ER/AMMEC schemes can significantly improve the objective and subjective 3D video quality.
