  • Method, apparatus, and system for enhancing robustness of predictive video codecs using a side-channel based on distributed source coding techniques
    Patent number: 8379716
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, and system for providing distributed source coding techniques that improve data coding performance, such as video data coding, when channel errors or losses occur. Errors in the reconstruction of the data is eliminated or reduced by sending extra information. Correlation between a predicted sequence and an original sequence can be used to design codebooks and find the cosets required to represent the original image. This information may be sent over another channel, or a secondary channel.
    Type: Grant
