We consider an error-resilient stereoscopic streaming system that uses an H.264-based multiview video codec and a rateless Raptor code for recovery from packet losses. One aim of the present work is to suggest a heuristic methodology for modeling the end-to-end rate-distortion (RD) characteristic of such a system. Another aim is to show how to make use of such a model to optimally select the parameters of the video codec and the Raptor code to minimize the overall distortion. Specifically, the proposed system models the RD curve of video encoder and performance of channel codec to jointly derive the optimal encoder bit rates and unequal error protection (UEP) rates specific to the layered stereoscopic video streaming. We define analytical RD curve modeling for each layer that includes the interdependency of these layers. A heuristic analytical model of the performance of Raptor codes is also defined. Furthermore, the distortion on the stereoscopic video quality caused by packet losses is estimated. Finally, analytical models and estimated single-packet loss distortions are used to minimize the end-to-end distortion and to obtain optimal encoder bit rates and UEP rates. The simulation results clearly demonstrate the significant quality gain against the nonoptimized schemes.

Antenna Scan Period Estimation of Radars with Cepstrum and Scoring
Kalfaoglu, M. Esat; Can, Ogul; Yildirim, Berkin; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2019-01-01)
The performance of the cepstrum method on the radar antenna scan period estimation is evaluated. In addition, instead of relying on the cepstrum estimation directly, a two-block algorithm is proposed by adding a scoring block to make the estimation more reliable. Cepstrum is compared with zero-padded Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), zero-padded periodogram and Pulse Repetition Interval (PRI) transform. Cepstrum has been observed to be superior in six of the seven groups in the radar data set with respect to pe...
Multiphase modeling of the DC plasma-water interface: application to hydrogen peroxide generation with experimental validation
Keniley, Shane; Üner, Necip Berker; Perez, Elizabeth; Sankaran, R. Mohan; Curreli, Davide (2022-07-01)
Here, we present a one-dimensional, time-dependent multi-physics model of a plasma-liquid interface that encompasses both the plasma and liquid phases using the MOOSE-based drift-diffusion-reaction software, Zapdos-Crane. The model was applied to an experimental configuration comprised of a direct-current powered argon plasma formed at the surface of an aqueous, ionically conductive solution. In this system, one of the reactions that occurs is the formation of hydroxyl radicals, which subsequently produce h...
Error concealment of video sequences by data hiding
Yilmaz, A; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2003-09-17)
A complete error resilient video transmission codec is proposed, utilizing imperceptible embedded information for combined detecting, resynchronization and reconstruction of the errors and lost data. Utilization of data hiding for this problem provides a reserve information about the video to the receiver while unchanging the transmitted bit-stream syntax; hence, improves the reconstruction video quality without significant extra channel utilization. A spatial domain error recovery technique, which hides ed...
HTTP http adaptive streaming architectures for video on demand and live TV services
Özcan, Yiğit; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2013)
HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) has become a popular video streaming solution since it both benefits from the ubiquitous HTTP protocol and firewall and NAT traversal capabilities of TCP. HAS aims to provide high Quality of Experience (QoE) to the clients under limited and varying bandwidth by rate adaptation algorithms which allow the clients to choose the most appropriate video quality. A rate adaptation algorithm should utilize the available bandwidth. Furthermore, the received video bitrates should not dev...
Implementation of a distributed video codec
Işık, Cem Vedat; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2008)
Current interframe video compression standards such as the MPEG4 and H.264, require a high-complexity encoder for predictive coding to exploit the similarities among successive video frames. This requirement is acceptable for cases where the video sequence to be transmitted is encoded once and decoded many times. However, some emerging applications such as video-based sensor networks, power-aware surveillance and mobile video communication systems require computational complexity to be shifted from encoder ...
