Joint forward error correction and error concealment for compressed video

In this paper we propose a joint source/channel decoding scheme. This work combines information from classical Forward Error Correction (FEC) with information about the syntax and semantics of the received video along with the resulting video´s continuity to give improved performance over classical FEC. One feature of this work is the need to find a slice evaluation measure which balances the likelihood of a slice from the point of view of the channel decoder with the quality of the decompressed slice.
