Abstract
Previously we presented a network-driven Wyner-Ziv video coding method, in which the motion vectors are derived at the decoder and sent back to the encoder through a reliable backward channel. In this paper, we consider the scenario when the backward channel is error resilient. We study the performance of error resilient methods for our codec. A symmetrical Reversible Variable Length Code (RVLC) is used to reduce the bandwidth requirement of the backward channel. A hybrid scheme with selective coding is proposed to improve the codingefficiency when transmission delay occurs. The experimental results show that these error resilient methods can consistently improve the video quality at the decoder.
