Abstract

The visual quality is a critical factor of compressed videos for error-prone transmission. This paper proposes a structural similarity (SSIM) based error resilient video coding scheme to improve the visual quality of compressed videos for transmission over packet-switched networks. In the proposed scheme, a SSIM-based end-to-end distortion model is developed to estimate the perceptual distortion for spatial and temporal error propagation. Based on the model, an optimal mode selection strategy is presented to improve the rate-distortion performance. Experiments show that the proposed scheme significantly improves the visual quality for H.264/AVC video coding over packet-switched networks.
