A novel resynchronization marker positioning approach for robust video transmission

The challenge of robust video transmission is to protect the compressed data against hostile channel conditions while bringing little impact on bandwidth efficiency. Among the state-of-art error-resilient techniques, resynchronization has been proved to be a very effective tool. In this paper, using segmentation results, we propose a framework for the positioning of resynchronization markers such that the image quality of foreground can be improved at the expense of sacrificing the unimportant background. Experimental results demonstrate that this scheme significantly improves the subjective quality of video sequence for robust video transmission.
