Error detection using data hiding for robust wireless multimedia communications

Wireless channels are error prone communication channels. It is well known that multimedia data can be vulnerable to transmission errors, to various degrees. Error control, such as forward error control (FEC) and automatic repeat request (ARQ,) and error concealment techniques have been developed to combat transmission errors for robust multimedia communications. The efficiency and effectiveness of an error recovery technique rely on the system error detection capabilities. We review techniques proposed in the area of error detection via data hiding in this paper. Typical errors can be classified into several categories. We discuss conventional error types, review algorithms using data hiding for transmission error detection developed in the last several years, and propose future work directions, especially for robust wireless multimedia communication.
