Unequal loss protection: graceful degradation of image quality over packet erasure channels through forward error correction
Abstract
We present the unequal loss protection (ULP) framework in which unequal amounts of forward error correction are applied to progressive data to provide graceful degradation of image quality as packet losses increase. We develop a simple algorithm that can find a good assignment within the ULP framework. We use the set partitioning in hierarchical trees coder in this work, but our algorithm can protect any progressive compression scheme. In addition, we promote the use of a PMF of expected channel conditions so that our system can work with almost any model or estimate of packet losses. We find that when optimizing for an exponential packet loss model with a mean loss rate of 20% and using a total rate of 0.2 bits per pixel on the Lenna image, good image quality can be obtained even when 40% of transmitted packets are lost.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
