From a video coding perspective, there are two challenges when performing live video
distribution over error-prone networks, such as wireless networks: random access and
packet loss repair. There is a scarceness of solutions that do not impact steady-state usage
and users with reliable connections. The proposed solution minimizes this impact by
complementing a compression-efficient video stream with a companion stream solely
consisting of keyframes. Although the core idea is not new, this paper is the first work to …
From a video coding perspective, there are two challenges when performing live video distribution over error-prone networks, such as wireless networks: random access and packet loss repair. There is a scarceness of solutions that do not impact steady-state usage and users with reliable connections. The proposed solution minimizes this impact by complementing a compression-efficient video stream with a companion stream solely consisting of keyframes. Although the core idea is not new, this paper is the first work to provide restrictions and modifications necessary to make this idea work using the High-Efficiency Video Coding (H.265/HEVC) compression standard. Additionally, through thorough quantification, insight is provided on how to provide low-latency fast channel switching capabilities and error recovery at low quality impact, i.e., less than 0.94 average Video Multimethod Assessment Fusion (VMAF) score decrease. Finally, worst-case drift artifacts are described and visualized such that the reader gets an overall picture of using the keyframe insertion technique.
