Abstract
This paper proposes a multiple description (MD) mesh-based motion coding method, which generates two descriptions for mesh-based motion by subsampling the nodes of a right-angled triangular mesh and dividing them into two groups. Motion vectors associated with the mesh nodes in each group are transmitted over distinct channels. With the nodes in each group, two other regular triangular meshes besides the original one can be constructed, and three different prediction images can be reconstructed according to descriptions available. The proposed MD mesh-based motion coding method is then combined with the pairwise correlating transform (PCT), and a complete MD video coding scheme is proposed. Further measures are taken to reduce the mismatch between the encoder and decoder that occurs when only one description is received and the decoder reconstruction is different from the encoder. The performance of the proposed scheme is evaluated using computer simulations, and the results show, compared to Reibman’s MD transform coding (MDTC) method, the proposed scheme achieves better redundancy rate distortion (RRD) performance. In packet loss scenario, the proposed scheme outperforms the MDTC method.
