| In this paper, an effective multiple description video codec is designed based on pre- and post-processing of video sequences without modifying the actual coding process itself, which makes it compatible with the current standard coding. In pre-processing, adaptive modes of temporal sampling are employed to regulate the motion change between frames before performing odd/even frame splitting, which facilitates a good estimation of lost frames in post-processing after side decoding. In particular, given a central distortion, rate-distortion optimization with La-grangian formulation is applied in pre-processing to achieve a good tradeoff between bit rate and side distortion. Furthermore, for simplicity of the Lagrangian multiplier selection, a new optimization criterion is proposed based on the correlation of intra-/inter-description. The experimental results exhibit better performance of the proposed scheme than other tested schemes. |
