The usage of multimedia applications on the Internet has seen phenomenal growth in recent years. Transport protocols that provide partially reliable service have been suggested as one approach to better handle the requirements of these applications. A partially reliable service provides applications with the possibility of a flexible tradeoff between reliability and delay/throughput. Appropriately designed coders are, however, required to fully utilize a partially reliable service. In this paper we present a JPEG image coder tailored to suit the behavior of a partially reliable byte stream service. With regular JPEG, data loss typically results in severely distorted images. The robust recoder employs three major modifications to standard JPEG in order to adapt to the partially reliable transport: (1) extended resynchronization markers in order to be able to resynchronize effectively, (2) block interleaving in order to spread out the loss of a packet across the image and (3) error concealment in order to minimize the perceived quality loss. The modifications incorporate both new inventions, such as random window interleaving, as well as variations of previously known techniques.
