Edge based frame interpolation technique for error correction at HEVC decoder

This paper mainly focuses on introducing an edge based bi-directional frame interpolation technique to increase performance of the High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) standard in error prone environment. The main aim of the proposed technique is to maintain the structural similarity between the dropped frame and the interpolated frame, while keeping the redundant data transmission at a minimum level. Further, the technique presented provides a simple low cost method for frame interpolation based error recovery in HEVC. The experimental results show that the proposed technique manages to recover the lost frame with an acceptable level of PSNR and SSIM level while maintaining the redundant data rate at a minimum level.
