Frequency selective extrapolation with residual filtering for image error concealment
This work addresses error concealment in image and video communication, but it is incremental as it builds on existing FSE methods.
The paper tackled the problem of image error concealment by proposing a modified frequency selective extrapolation (FSE) method that incorporates the low-pass behavior of natural images, resulting in significant PSNR gains.
The purpose of signal extrapolation is to estimate unknown signal parts from known samples. This task is especially important for error concealment in image and video communication. For obtaining a high quality reconstruction, assumptions have to be made about the underlying signal in order to solve this underdetermined problem. Among existent reconstruction algorithms, frequency selective extrapolation (FSE) achieves high performance by assuming that image signals can be sparsely represented in the frequency domain. However, FSE does not take into account the low-pass behaviour of natural images. In this paper, we propose a modified FSE that takes this prior knowledge into account for the modelling, yielding significant PSNR gains.
