Icon based error concealment for JPEG and JPEG 2000 images

This paper describes methods to recover the useful data in JPEG and JPEG 2000 compressed images and to estimate data for those portions of the image where correct data cannot be recovered. These techniques are designed to handle the loss of hundreds of bytes in the file. No use is made of restart markers or other optional error detection features of JPEG and JPEG 2000, but an uncorrupted low resolution version of the image, such as an icon, is assumed to be available. These icons are typically present in Exif or JFIF format JPEG files.
