Abstract
A method and system for detection of artifacts in a video after application of an error concealment strategy by a decoder is disclosed. An absolute difference image is determined by subtraction of a current image and a previously decoded image. A threshold marked buffer is determined to replace the pixel values of the absolute difference image with a first pixel value or a second pixel value, based on comparison of pixel values with a first predefined threshold. A candidate region is determined by determining a pair of edges of the threshold marked buffer having length above a second predefined threshold, distance between them above a third predefined threshold, and pixel values between them in the absolute difference image, less than a fourth predefined threshold. Validation of candidate region is based on comparison of characteristics of the candidate region with characteristics of the current image and/or previously decoded images.
