TL;DR: The original video frames along with error video frames are compared with both the Error concealment algorithms and Frequency Selective Extrapolation algorithm, showing better quality measures such as 48% improved PSNR and 94% increased SSIM than Block Matching Algorithm.
Abstract: Error Concealment (EC) is a technique at the decoder side to hide the transmission errors. It is done by analyzing the spatial or temporal information from available video frames. It is very important to recover distorted video because they are used for various applications such as video-telephone, video-conference, TV, DVD, internet video streaming, video games etc .Retransmission-based and resilient-based methods, are also used for error removal. But these methods add delay and redundant data. So error concealment is the best option for error hiding. In this paper, the error concealment methods such as Block Matching error concealment algorithm is compared with Frequency Selective Extrapolation algorithm. Both the works are based on concealment of manually error video frames as input. The parameter used for objective quality measurement was PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio) and SSIM(Structural Similarity Index). The original video frames along with error video frames are compared with both the Error concealment algorithms. According to simulation results, Frequency Selective Extrapolation is showing better quality measures such as 48% improved PSNR and 94% increased SSIM than Block Matching Algorithm.

TL;DR: The proposed biomedical device can be used for fast and accurate prediction of COVID-19 from chest x-rays using automated AI-based systems and can be stored in less stringent conditions, making it more effective.
Abstract: Corona is a pandemic disease and is spreading all over the world. There is also lack of corona virus detection machines. If it is detected at very early stages without pathological intervention, then further spreading of the disease can be controlled, and many of human lives can be saved. So, the proposed biomedical device can be used for fast and accurate prediction of COVID-19 from chest x-rays. X-ray can also be taken from anywhere and sent through any communication medium. Even if error is added, it can be removed using error concealment algorithms. Automated AI-based systems will be used for prediction of normal, COVID-19, and pneumonic cases from x-ray images. It makes detection of COVID-19 infection less costly and portable. This device can be stored in less stringent conditions, making it more effective.

TL;DR: In this article , a machine learning algorithm called Histogram of Gradient (HOG) was used for face detection in the automatic ration distribution system, which is an added feature in the existing automatic distribution system such as Biometric identification, RFID based systems.
Abstract: The Ration Distribution System is one of India's most important economic measures. The primary goal is to distribute food grains to the people at a reasonable cost. Because every job in the ration store requires physical labour, the ration Distribution System is one of the most contentious systems involving corruption and illegal smuggling of supplies. The main objective here is to automate the process of the distribution so that malpractices can be reduced. Earlier proposed systems with RFID or Biometric techniques have drawbacks in accuracy and those techniques could get easily tampered. In biometric technique there is chances of fading of fingerprints and can be easily copied. Also RFIDs are not always as accurate or dependable as barcode scanners, and things such as metal and moisture can disrupt with the signal. This proposed system will use a Machine Learning algorithm called Histogram of Gradient for face detection. User gets ration when the image is recognised, if the tolerance value is appropriate then the image from the manually created database is checked in real time and is said to be a match or else not a match. It is an added feature in the existing automatic ration distribution system such as Biometric identification, RFID based systems.

TL;DR: Two novel error concealment techniques are proposed for video transmission over noisy channels to compensate a lost macroblock in intra-coded frames, in which no useful temporal information is available, and a dynamic mode-weighted error concealments method for replenishing missing pixels in alost macroblock of inter- coded frames.
Abstract: Two novel error concealment techniques are proposed for video transmission over noisy channels in this work. First, we present a spatial error concealment method to compensate a lost macroblock in intra-coded frames, in which no useful temporal information is available. Based on selective directional interpolation, our method can recover both smooth and edge areas efficiently. Second, we examine a dynamic mode-weighted error concealment method for replenishing missing pixels in a lost macroblock of inter-coded frames. Our method adopts a decoder-based error tracking model and combines several concealment modes adaptively to minimize the mean square error of each pixel. The method is capable of concealing lost packets as well as reducing the error propagation effect. Extensive simulations have been performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed methods in error-prone environments

TL;DR: An error concealment technique for video transmission, focusing on motion vector (MV) recovery for both inter- and intra-coded frames, to improve video quality at decoder when video bit stream data incur transmission errors.
Abstract: This paper proposes an error concealment technique for video transmission, focusing on motion vector (MV) recovery for both inter- and intra-coded frames, to improve video quality at decoder when video bit stream data incur transmission errors. The proposed algorithm considers slice (i.e., a row of macroblocks (MBs)) errors and uses DP (Dynamic Programming) optimization technique to estimate the lost MVs in a global manner, differing from the traditional Boundary Matching Algorithm (BMA) and others that recover MVs independently for individual MBs in an erroneous slice. We also propose an iterative DP process based on 8 × 8 pixels blocks to resolve finer motions (for 8 × 8, 8 × 16, and 16 × 8 pixels blocks) that will aid in the enhancement of reconstruction quality. Experiment results show that our algorithm outperforms the well-known BMA by up to 7.28 dB and the DMVE and another prior work by Qian by up to 1.0 dB at a packet loss rate of 15%. Subjective evaluation shows that our algorithm is especially promising in preserving line/curve features and motion details.

TL;DR: Experiments show that by considering the side smoothness between adjacent recovered MBs, the proposed algorithm improves the reconstructed video quality by about 0.4-0.9 dB with a packet loss rate up to 15%, compared to a traditional boundary matching algorithm.
Abstract: This paper addresses video error concealment techniques, focusing on motion vector recovery of P- and B-frames, to improve the decoded quality of videos when bit stream data incurs transmission errors. First, we propose a dynamic programming (DP) technique to optimize the path cost in a multistage topology and evaluate the goodness of boundary matching and side smoothness of recovered macroblocks. However, due to the high computational complexity of DP, a suboptimal alternative enhanced with an adaptive Kalman filtering algorithm is adopted instead. Experiments show that by considering the side smoothness between adjacent recovered MBs, the proposed algorithm improves the reconstructed video quality by about 0.4-0.9 dB with a packet loss rate up to 15%, compared to a traditional boundary matching algorithm. In addition, subjective image inspection demonstrates the efficiency of the proposed algorithm in retaining the continuity of lines and image details

TL;DR: Investigations show that particularly 2D DFT basis functions are suited for signal extrapolation in order to be able to reconstruct both monotone areas and edges.
Abstract: The paper introduces a method for spatial error concealment of lost image data in erroneous image transmission. The image content of the correctly received surrounding blocks is successively approximated by a weighted linear combination of basis functions and the missing block is obtained by extrapolation. An implementation in the frequency domain allows an efficient realization. Investigations show that particularly 2D DFT basis functions are suited for signal extrapolation in order to be able to reconstruct both monotone areas and edges.

TL;DR: This work reviews the state-of-the-art on error concealment schemes for MPEG-2 transmission over ATM networks and makes use of the redundancies still remaining in the frequency, temporal and spatial domains after compression.
Abstract: The effective deployment of distributed video applications will rely on the services provided by the underlying transport mechanism. In the context of ATM-based networks, effective traffic control mechanisms remains one of the major challenges towards the design of network services guaranteeing low cell losses probabilities. In the case of compressed video, the loss cells have the effect of affecting blocks of information relying on the lost information. When cell loss occurs, error concealment schemes can play an important role in recovering the viewing quality of impaired video. Error concealment schemes make use of the redundancies still remaining in the frequency, temporal and spatial domains after compression. Under these schemes, the remaining redundancy in the compressed video stream may be used to recover the lost information, making the cell loss effect subjectively imperceptible. We review the state-of-the-art on error concealment schemes for MPEG-2 transmission over ATM networks.
