A new motion compensation approach for error resilient video coding

Multihypothesis motion-compensated prediction (MHMCP) can be used as an error resilience technique for video coding. Motivated by MHMCP, we propose a new error resilience approach named alternative motion-compensated prediction (AMCP), where two-hypothesis and one-hypothesis predictions are alternatively used with some mechanism. Both theory and simulation results show that in case of one frame loss, the expected converged error using AMCP is smaller than that using two-hypothesis MCP.
