<title>Unequal error protection of embedded video bitstreams</title>

Abstract

This paper presents an unequal error protection of embedded video bitstreams using three dimensional SPIHT (3-D SPIHT) algorithm and Spatio-Temporal Tree Preserving 3-D SPIHT (STTP-SPIHT) algorithm. We have already proved the efficiency and robustness of the STTP-SPIHT in both of noisy and noiseless channels by modifying the 3-D SPIHT algorithm. We demonstrate that the 3-D SPIHT can also be error resilient against channel bit errors by dividing the embedded video bitstreams, and more error resilient when we divide the STTP-SPIHT bitstreams.
