Improved error concealment using scene information

Abstract. Signaling of scene information in coded bitstreams was proposed by the authors and adopted into the emerging video coding standard H.264 (also known as MPEG-4 part 10 or AVC) as a supplemental enhancement information (SEI) message. This paper proposes some improved error concealment methods for intra coded pictures and scene transition pictures using the signaled scene information. Simulation results show that the proposed methods outperform conventional techniques significantly.
