State-Information-Assisting EREC

초록

This paper proposes an improved algorithm of the error-resilient entropy coding (EREC). The idea is to record and transmit the states of variable-length data blocks (VLBs) and fixed-length data slots (FLSs) during EREC encoding process. The state information (SI) of VLBs and FLSs is used at the receiver to resynchronize VLBs during EREC decoding process. It is proved that the cost of SI is fewer than 3 bits per VLB. To combat errors in SI bits, we propose to code SI bits into EREC structure. Experimental results show that our proposed method improves recovery quality of VLC bitstream significantly.
