Drift-free multiple description coding of video

A novel framework for multiple description coding of video is presented. The proposed scheme is based on an efficient methodology for the generation of multiple descriptions which eliminates drift at the decoder. An arbitrary number of descriptions can be obtained from the same original video sequence. Experimental results for the transmission of video using two descriptions demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed methodology.
