Error Concealment for Cloud–Based and Scalable Video Coding of HD Videos

Abstract

The encoding of HD videos faces two challenges: requirements for a strong processing power and a large storage space. One time-efficient solution addressing these challenges is to use a cloud platform and to use a scalable video coding technique to generate multiple video streams with varying bitrates. Packet-loss is very common during the transmission of these video streams over the Internet and becomes another challenge. One solution to address this challenge is to retransmit lost video packets, but this will create end-to-end delay. Therefore, it would be good if the problem of packet-loss can be dealt with at the user's side. In this paper, we present a novel system that encodes and stores the videos using the Amazon cloud computing platform, and recover lost video frames on user side using a new Error Concealment (EC) technique. To efficiently utilize the computation power of a user's mobile device, the EC is performed based on a multiple-thread and parallel process. The simulation results clearly show that, on average, our proposed EC technique outperforms the traditional Block Matching Algorithm (BMA) and the Frame Copy (FC) techniques.

A Survey on Big Multimedia Data Processing and Management in Smart Cities

“…This approach relies on beaconless routing and uses multiple metrics for routing decisions. A comparison between the performances of various joint coding solutions based on application layer to support video transmission between mobile devices in IoT applications was provided in [14,[92][93][94]. In this comparison, the quality of video streaming is evaluated based on quality of experience.…”

RaSEC: An Intelligent Framework for Reliable and Secure Multi-Level Edge Computing in Industrial Environments

“…In the traditional MLEC architecture, the computational resources are usually owned by different providers, e.g., Internet service providers, cloud service providers, and enterprise organizations that own a complete network and a cluster setup [2], [3]. Due to multiple ownership of computing resources in the MLEC architecture, a malicious device can easily enter the network, act like a legitimate edge device, and connect with end-devices and industrial applications to control them.…”
