Error Resilient Transmission for Block Compressed Sensing of Color Images

Block compressed sensing (BCS) is a new research branch in compressed sensing, which is famous for its superior performances. Evaluations between compression and reconstructed quality are based on the error-free transmission, and we look for the error resilient transmission of BCS over lossy channels. We propose to employ multiple description coding (MDC) to protect the BCS coefficients at the encoder. Then, protected coefficients are ready for transmitting over multiple lossy channels. Finally, we apply the capability of MDC and the high correlations between color planes for image reconstruction. Simulations have presented the enhancements of protected image qualities for the proposed algorithm.
