Object-based video coding is a relatively new technique to meet the fast growing demand for
interactive multimedia applications. Compared with conventional frame-based video coding …

In recent years, joint source-channel coding for multimedia communications has gained
increased popularity. However, very limited work has been conducted to address the …

We identify an analytical expression for the distortion of a scalable video bitstream. Relying
on the distortion expression, we propose a low complexity distortion-optimal unequal error …

A robust video communication system based on layered coding and unequal error
protection is developed in this work. We consider two video communication scenarios. First …

This paper proposes an unequal error protection (UEP) method for MPEG-2 video
transmission. Since the source and channel coders are normally concatenated, if the …

In this research, a JSCC (Joint Source-Channel Coding) video coding system based on the
optimization of end-to-end distortions is proposed. To this end, a model describing the rate …

We present a fixed-length robust joint source-channel coding (RJSCC) scheme for
transmitting images over wireless channels. The system integrates a joint source-channel …

In this paper, a joint source-channel coding (JSCC) scheme for unequal error protection
(UEP) based H. 264 over wireless channels is proposed. H. 264 coded information is …

We present a rate-distortion optimal joint source/channel coding framework for efficient and
robust low bit rate video communications in packet networks. The proposed algorithm …

The problem of application-layer error control for real-time video transmission over packet
lossy networks is commonly addressed by joint source-channel coding (JSCC). The …
