    Due to the increasing quality of transmission streaming applications and services in recent years, the difficulty of sure video delivery to stop undesirable content-leakage has, indeed, become crucial. While conserving user privacy, typical systems have addressed this issue by proposing strategies supported the observation of streamed traffic throughout the network.These standard systems maintain a high detection accuracy whereas managing a number of the traffic variation within network delay and packet loss and their detection performance well degrades thanks to the many variation of video lengths.In this paper, we focus on the solution overcoming this issue by proposing a unique content-leakage detection theme that's strong to the variation of the video length.By comparison videos of various lengths, we tend to confirm a relation between the length of videos to be compared and also the similarity between the compared videos.Therefore, we tend to enhance the detection performance of the projected theme even in associate degree setting subjected to variation long of video.Through a experimentation and testing procedure , the potential of achieving of our projected theme is evaluated in terms of variation within the length of video , delay in qualities of video, and loss of packets

    In this paper, a concealment method based on multiple-description coding (MDC) is presented, to improve speech quality deterioration caused by packet loss for algebraic code-excited linear prediction (ACELP) based coders. We apply to the ITU-T G.722.2 coder, a packet loss concealment (PLC) technique, which uses packetization schemes based on MDC. This latter is used with two new designed modes, which are modes 5 and 6 (18,25 and 19,85 kbps, respectively). We introduce our new second-order Markov chain model with four states in order to simulate network losses for different loss rates. The performance measures, with objective and subjective tests under various packet loss conditions, show a significant improvement of speech quality for ACELP based coders. The wideband perceptual evaluation of speech quality (WB-PESQ), enhanced modified bark spectral distortion (EMBSD), mean opinion score (MOS) tests and MUltiple Stimuli with Hidden Reference and Anchor (MUSHRA) for speech extracted from TIMIT database confirm the efficiency of our proposed approach and show a considerable enhancement in speech quality compared to the embedded algorithm in the standard ITU-T G.722.2

    Evaluation of the MDC and FEC over the quality of service and quality of experience for video distribution in ad hoc networks

    Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) offer an excellent scenario for deploying communication applications because of the connectivity and versatility of this kind of networks. In contrast, the topology is usually extremely dynamic causing high rate of packet loss, so that ensuring a specific Quality of Service (QoS) for real-time video services becomes a hard challenge. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of using Multiple Description Coding (MDC) and Forward Error Correction (FEC) techniques for improving video quality in a multimedia content distribution system. A hybrid architecture using fixed and wireless ad hoc networks is proposed, which enables the use of multipoint-to-point transmission. MDC and FEC mechanisms can be combined with multipath transmission to increase the network efficiency and recover lost packets, improving the overall Quality of Experience (QoE) of the receiver. Simulations have been analyzed paying attention to objective parameters (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio, Packet Delivery Ratio, Decodable Frame Rate and interruptions) and subjective parameters. Results show that MDC increases the probability of packet delivery and FEC is able to recover lost frames and reduce video interruptions in moderate mobility scenarios, resulting in the improvement of video quality and the final user experience.This work was supported by project MIQUEL (TEC2007- 68119-C02-01/TCM) of the Spanish Ministry of Education and Science.

    A Review of Error Resilience Techniques in Video Streaming

    Abstract-Delivering video data of satisfactory quality over unreliable networks -such as the internet or wireless networks -is a demanding area which has received significant attention of the research community over the past few years. Given the fact that packet loss is inevitable and therefore the presence of errors granted, the effort is directed towards limiting the effect of these errors. A number of techniques have been developed to address this issue. This paper aims to summarize the most significant approaches for: error resilience, error concealment and joint encoder-decoder error control techniques, and to provide a thorough discussion of the benefits and drawbacks of these error control methods. Furthermore, two case studies of error resilience utilization are presented, namely Ad-hoc networks and Multimedia Broadcast Multiple Services (MBMS)

    Scalable Multiple Description Coding and Distributed Video Streaming over 3G Mobile Networks

    In this thesis, a novel Scalable Multiple Description Coding (SMDC) framework is proposed. To address the bandwidth fluctuation, packet loss and heterogeneity problems in the wireless networks and further enhance the error resilience tools in Moving Pictures Experts Group 4 (MPEG-4), the joint design of layered coding (LC) and multiple description coding (MDC) is explored. It leverages a proposed distributed multimedia delivery mobile network (D-MDMN) to provide path diversity to combat streaming video outage due to handoff in Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS). The corresponding intra-RAN (Radio Access Network) handoff and inter-RAN handoff procedures in D-MDMN are studied in details, which employ the principle of video stream re-establishing to replace the principle of data forwarding in UMTS. Furthermore, a new IP (Internet Protocol) Differentiated Services (DiffServ) video marking algorithm is proposed to support the unequal error protection (UEP) of LC components of SMDC. Performance evaluation is carried through simulation using OPNET Modeler 9. 0. Simulation results show that the proposed handoff procedures in D-MDMN have better performance in terms of handoff latency, end-to-end delay and handoff scalability than that in UMTS. Performance evaluation of our proposed IP DiffServ video marking algorithm is also undertaken, which shows that it is more suitable for video streaming in IP mobile networks compared with the previously proposed DiffServ video marking algorithm (DVMA)
