    A Fast Suboptimal Approach to Error Concealment in Encoded Video Streams

    In ATM networks cell loss or channel errors can cause data to be dropped in the channel. When digital video is transmitted over these networks one must be able to reconstruct the missing data so that the impact of these errors is minimized. In this paper we describe a Bayesian approach to concealing these errors by post-processing the received data. In a prior paper [1], each frame in the sequence was modeled as a Markov Random Field, and maximum a posteriori estimates of the missing macroblocks were obtained. However, the maximum a posteriori estimate is not unique, and the algorithm is also computationally intensive. In this paper we demonstrate, that by using median filtering we arrive at a suboptimal estimate. This will allow real-time nearly optimal reconstruction of the missing data. 1 Introduction Broadband networks support a variety of applications involving high-resolution video and images. Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the target communication protocol for many of th..
