Title
A Low-Complexity Methodology For Unequal Error Protection Of Scalable Images
Abstract
Unequal Error Protection (UEP) is the most practical way to achieve joint source-channel coding while keeping a clean separation between the source and channel coders. In this paper, a generic UEP allocation methodology is proposed. The methodology is based on a run-time algorithm, exploiting design-time models, and is applicable to bit-level transmission scenarios as well as packet-based transmission environments. It works with source-independent modeling and a linear complexity with respect to the number of substreams in the source coded stream and the number of protection levels available, which makes it an attractive solution for practical scenarios. We obtain a substantial complexity reduction compared to a classical Lagrangian optimization while keeping optimality in the allocation of the protection levels. Given a typical source and channel granularity, we obtain a factor 6 complexity reduction.
