Abstract
Methods for concealing Scalable Video Coding (SVC) decoding errors. Lost pictures in the target layer are replaced with up-sampled pictures from a lower layer, such as the base layer. In multiloop decoding applications, lost pictures in the target layer are replaced with corresponding up-sampled pictures from the lower layer. Subsequent target layer pictures in the same Group of Pictures (GOP) are either replaced with corresponding upsampled pictures from the lower layer, or they are decoded with up-sampled pictures from the lower layer used as reference pictures. For single-loop decoding, the bit stream of each layer is buffered, for each GOP, and inspected for errors. If an error is detected in the target layer, the pictures of the highest level layer without an error are decoded and up-sampled and used as the output pictures for the current GOP.
