Abstract
In this paper, error-resilient schemes are proposed to support robust video transmission for digital terrestrial TV broadcasting (DTTB). In particular, a temporal error concealment incorporated with a low-complexity block-matching is developed, achieving an effective reception of predictive pictures in harsh terrestrial environment. Special algorithms are also designed for isolated I-pictures. Moreover, combined with an intra/inter case prediction, an adaptive error concealment scheme is further contrived to fit for different error conditions. Extensive simulations have been conducted under various DTTB channel conditions, even with a very high packet error rate, to verify the effectiveness of the proposed schemes.
