Loss Concealment for Low -Bit -Rate Packet Voice
We propose a new coder-dependent parameter-based MDC. Based on the correlations of coding parameters, we generate multiple descriptions systematically. In particular, we have observed high inter-frame correlations in linear predictors of low-bit-rate coders, but low correlations in excitation …

Error detection and error concealment for MPEG2 over communication networks
… on combining Error Detection together with Error Concealment. Two schemes based on that strategy were tested. The first uses redundancies which are still present in the compressed video signal. The second one relies on the redundancies that the syntax of compressed bitstream provides. The …

Combined forward error correction and error concealment for digital video transmission
… reconstructed video signal can be done by error concealment based on the residual redundancy of the video signal. FEC and error concealment are usually treated as independent processes. This thesis presents an error resilience scheme, which combines Forward Error Correction (FEC) and Error …

Error Concealment for Robust Image and Video Transmissions on the Internet
Likewise, delay and packet loss are two primary concerns for image transmissions. Existing approaches for delivering single-description coded images by TCP give superior quality but very long delays when the network is unreliable. To reduce delays, we have proposed to use UDP to deliver …

The aesthetics of concealment : Weegee in the movie theater (1943-1950)
Between 1941 and 1945, movie theaters in the United States enjoyed a period of intense activity marked by record levels of attendance. Film scholars have explained this phenomenon by referring to the fascination exerted by "escapist" Hollywood films, which either idealized or completely negated the …
