Error concealment in video communications systems

Abstract:

A method, an apparatus, and a system for error concealment of video communications include determining, by a processor in an encoding process, a current block of a current slice of a current picture of a video sequence for error concealment, determining recovery data of the current block, wherein the recovery data comprises at least one of a coefficient of a discrete transform performed to the current block and similarity data associated with a first block similar to the current block, and the first block is in a first slice different from the current slice, and transmitting the current block and the recovery data using a network, wherein the current block is transmitted as in-band data and the recovery data is transmitted as out-of-band data.
