We combine multiple description (MD) quantization, entropy coding, and data partitioning to improve the error resiliency of images over varying packet loss channels. Our proposed ...
— A streaming system based on the Scalable Video Coding (SVC) extension of H.264/AVC is shown. SVC allows for data rate adaptation without re-encoding just by dropping packets of...
