The framework includes both Video + Depth and Stereo representations of 3D Video and corresponding coding methods (either multi-view or simulcast video coding), with or without slice; different error control schemes such as Unequal Error Protection (UEP) where the channel coding ratio among the streams is determined according to the priority level of the streams and Equal Error Protection (EEP), error concealment schemes such as slice and frame concealment. Extensive summations have been performed to find an effective compromise between compression efficiency/mpe-fec code rates and robustness with respect to typical channel conditions.

3 D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools Executive Summary In this report, we present a complete framework of an end-to-end transport of 3D video over DVB- H. The framework includes different coding, error control and error corrections schemes. We have concentrated on three coding approaches, namely: Simulcast, MVC and Video + Depth. For all of these three coding methods, there are also encoding options that affect both compression efficiency and error resilience. We have focused on the effect of one of the most important error resilience tools of the encoder, namely the slice mode. To study its influence, we have implemented slice interleaving for error resilience and integrated it to the JMVC reference software version To study the effect of UEP/EEP on these videos, equal channel resources are provided for different test cases in order to make fair comparison. This is achieved by assigning the same "burst duration" value for the total of two channels each coding method has, so that the characteristics of each coding methods determines the protection advantage/disadvantage of it over the others. During the handling of distorted video, an appropriate error concealment tool is employed. Extensive simulations have been performed to find an effective compromise between compression efficiency/mpe-fec code rates and robustness with respect to typical channel conditions. Page 2 of 214

6 D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools 1 Introduction In previous reports, we have studied the effect of several error protection methods over the quality of the delivered stereo video for several DVB-H typical channel conditions. Experimental results showed that, although using equal MPE-FEC rates for both services (EEP) provides mostly the required data robustness, under certain thresholds of the channel SNR corresponding to very erroneous conditions, it may fail and this problem can be overcome by using unequal error protection (UEP) for that high error cases. Other than the channel conditions, the success of EEP and UEP also depends on the content of the video and how it is coded. 3D video compression for DVB-H essentially aims to reduce the amount of information transmitted over the wireless channel, without any significant loss in the visual quality. However, in case of bad channel conditions, distortions appear over the video sequences, since certain parts of the signal information cannot be recovered on the receiver side. The amount of information and the effect of losses differ for different coding schemes. In this work, having 3D content present in stereo format, we have concentrated on 3 coding approaches, namely: Simulcast: The two views referred as Left and Right Views are compressed individually using the state-of-the-art video compression standard H.264/MPEG-4 AVC. MVC: Left and Right views are compressed jointly by exploiting the inter-view dependencies using Multi-view Video Coding (MVC) Extension of H.264. Video + Depth: Depth information is estimated from the Left and Right Views and then both the left view and depth data are compressed individually using again standard H.264/AVC. Note that this method requires the rendering of the right view at the receiver after decoding, which introduces some extra processing at the receiver side. For all of the methods above, there are also encoding options that affect both compression efficiency and error resilience. We have focused on the effect of one of the most important error resilience tools of the encoder, namely the slice mode. We experimented on different video sequences coded by these 3 coding methods, both for the slice mode and conventional mode. To study the effect of UEP/EEP on these videos, equal channel resources are provided for different test cases in order to make fair comparison. This is achieved by assigning the same "burst duration" value for the total of two channels each coding method has, so that the characteristics of each coding methods determines the protection advantage/disadvantage of it over the others. Channel conditions are simulated by adding additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) with varying SNR values to the Typical Urban 6 Taps Mobile Channel model which provides a wide range of MFER values. For handling distorted videos, an appropriate error concealment tool is employed. The effect of content, coding method, bit-rate, channel condition, slice size and protection rate on the objective quality is demonstrated by extensive simulations. This report is organized as follows: Section 2 explains in detail the end-to-end 3D DVB-H system with embedded error-resilient tools. Section 3 gives the experimental results with suggestions on proper coding/protection/transmission scenarios. Finally, Section 4 gives the conclusion and future work. Page 5 of 214

7 D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools 2 End-to-End 3D Video Transmission System with Embedded Error-Resilient Tools The building blocks of the overall system are given in Figure 2-1. The transmission side consists of three main blocks, namely the encoder, streamer and encapsulator. Major tasks of these blocks are compression, transport control and error control coding respectively. Then, the system has an offline block to model the real physical transmission at the channel. The rest is the receiver side blocks which are the transport stream decapsulator, the frame loss concealer, stream assembler and finally the decoder. For proper display of 3D video one would also need a multi-view video player and a 3D dedicated display. 3D video to be transmitted first enters the encoder. Each stream is encoded separately for Simulcast and Video + Depth, and in case of MVC encoding of right view uses the left view. Encoding method to be used is determined according to the input format (stereo video or video + depth). In either case, the encoder output consists of two separate bit streams compressed and packed appropriately for transmission. The encoder output is called Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) units (NALU). NALUs are fed to the stereo video streamer. The streamer is basically responsible from the control of the transport. It encapsulates the NAL units into Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and finally Internet Protocol (IP) datagram and feed them to the encapsulator. RTP/UDP/IP packetization also allows the broadcasting of multiple contents from several resources each being a separate program. This is needed since the encapsulator multiplexes the distinct IP streams grabbed from the network into a single TS stream to be broadcasted. Encapsulator, which is the third major block on the transmitter side of the system, firstly creates MPE sections and optional additional MPE-FEC section for forward error correction (MPE-FEC). The link layer output, MPEG-2 Transport Stream (TS) packets, are passed to the simulated physical layer where the error traces are generated by a software, DVB-H simulator, for different conditions. This software simulator consists of 3 main parts: The first part simulates the transmitter side hardware operations. The second part is exploited for properly modeling of the RF signal transmission environment (reflection, multi-path, shadowing, fading effects etc), and finally, the last part is used in order to simulate the receiver side operations. At the transmitter side, the link layer output is taken as the input to the simulator and the bitstream is processed (interleaving, errorcontrol coding, modulation etc.) according to the blocks of the DVB-T physical layer [7]. Channel simulator models the behavior of the physical transmission by degrading the final bitstream provided by the first part of the simulator, according to the channel models such as Rayleigh or Rician Fading. Finally, the DVB-H receiver side processes the bitstream (operations such as error correction and synchronization are accomplished there) and provides the final output to link layer of the receiver. In our system, we use the TS packet error model, which is concerned whether these DVB-H receiver side s TS packet outputs are exactly the same with the input of the simulator or not. By this way, error mapping is done between the link layers of transmitter and receiver sides meaning that the simulator provides an abstraction level by providing the error pattern which consists of information regarding the successful delivery of TS packets.

8 D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools The receiver side of the end-to-end system starts with the decapsulator block. This block is the major receiver block where the transition from received bitstream to compressed stream is realized. The unpacking of TS streams, construction of MPE FEC frame table from sections, erasure decoding and possible recovery of lost data take place in this block. After these, the section payloads (IP datagram) are unpacked to output the NALUs. The next block in the receiver side is the frame loss concealer which handles the lost NALUs during transmission. Once the error concealment is done, left and right streams are assembled by the assembler unit since JMVC software decoder takes the multi view coded streams in assembled format. Decoder is the last building block of the end-to-end transmission system.

Since the depth data is that it is composed of smoothly varying luminance component it results in lower bit-rate when compared to the left view. Page 7 of 214

9 D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools The encoding method to be used is chosen according to the format of the input streams. Each coding method is based on H.264/AVC Video Coding Standard; having some additional features. We have built our encoder based on the JMVC Reference Software version 5..5 which is the Multi-View Extension H.264/AVC developed by Joint Video Team (JVT) formed between VCEG and ISO/IEC MPEG [1]. We have added additional features to this software in order to add error resilience. The encoding methods used with different representation of 3D video can be summarized as follows: Simulcast Coding 1 : This method is used with stereo video consisting of two views captured with proper angles. The two views referred as Left and Right views are compressed individually using the state-of-the-art monoscopic video compression standard H.264/AVC. The naming does not come from the coding method used, but from the transmission point. It is the short usage of simultaneous broadcast", and refers to programs or events broadcast across more than one service on the same medium, at the same time. Therefore, this method basically encodes the video streams separately as they are two different programs, and transmits them simultaneously over the same channel at different frequencies. The conventional user can only tune into one of these programs. Multi-View Coding 2 : This method is also used with stereo video as in simulcast. However, this time right view is encoded by exploiting the inter-view dependency using multi-view video coding (MVC) extension of H.264/AVC. Note that, the MVC extension is backwardcompatible meaning that the only mono-capable receivers will still be able to decode and watch left view, which is nothing but a 2D conventional video, and simply discard the other view, since left view is encoded independent of the right view. Video + Depth Coding 3 : This method is used with the other representation of 3D video as the name suggests. Depth information may be either provided (either generated synthetically or measured) or estimated from the Left and Right Views of a stereo video. Both the left view and depth data are compressed individually using again standard H.264/AVC. Note that, in case of usage with a multi-view display, this method requires the rendering of the right view at the receiver after decoding, which introduces some extra processing at the receiver side. As stated above Video + Depth and Simulcast coding methods do not utilize inter-view dependencies. In JMVC 5..5, the base layer is coded as H.264/AVC. Therefore the base layer codec of the encoder is used for, (a) Simulcast Coding; (b) Video + Depth Coding There are a number of different prediction structures for Multi-View coding each having different inter-view reference models [1]. For backward compatibility, we chose a prediction structure 1 Referred also as Simulcast or Sim in the following context 2 Referred as MVC 3 Note that this naming is both used as an encoding method and a 3D video representation scheme Page 8 of 214

10 D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools where left view is encoded independent of right view. Figure 2-2 exhibits the inter-view and interframe reference model, which is simplified IPP, used in our system. IPP prediction structure is a relatively simpler prediction structure comparing with the others, it reduces the decoding complexity but the compression efficiency also decreases. In our simulations we used different combinations of QPs for left and right views. However, this is not supported in the reference software. Due to this we modified the reference software such that different QP s can be used while encoding the different views. This required one more parameter to be passed to the encoder, so that the encoder can use different QPs. During the selection of encoding parameters, we have encoded many of the combinations in order to find the best PSNR performance at a chosen bit-rate. The inter dependency between left and right views allows combinations with different QP s to result in less distortion than the other combinations with equal bit-rate. More detailed information can be found in the experimental results section. S I P P P P P P P I S 1 P P P P P P P P P Figure 2-2 IPP.. Prediction Structure of the MVC codec with inter-view references in the anchor frames The error resilient tools embedded in standard H.264/AVC are the data partitioning, slice interleaving, flexible macro block (MB) ordering (FMO), SP/SI frames, reference frame selection, intra block refreshing and redundant slices [3]. SP/SI frames and reference frame selection requires feedback from the decoder. Data partitioning, slice interleaving, FMO, intra block refreshing and redundant slices are the candidates to be used in MVC. However, none of these tools are implemented in JMVC Reference Software for MVC extension of H.264/AVC. In this project, we have implemented the slice interleaving for error resilience and integrated it to JMVC By this way, it is possible to code each different representation with/without slices Slice Interleaving H.264/AVC bit stream is composed of network abstraction layer (NAL) units. In each NAL unit, there is a video coding layer (VCL) block. VCL can be a small packet with information about the bitstream like sequence parameter set (SPS); picture parameter set (PPS) or supplemental enhancement information (SEI). SPS and PPS are required packets whereas SEI can be skipped. Other VCL packets are the coded video streams. Each packet is a slice containing an integer number of macroblock. It can contain all macroblocks of a frame or it can contain a single macroblock. Slices are independently decodable if previous frames are available. This is achieved by using the location information in the slice header and by allowing spatial dependency only inside the slice. For compression efficiency, using a single slice per frame is better in order to avoid header overhead. If NAL unit size is bigger than Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) of the corresponding transport medium, it will be fragmented into smaller packets. In lossy environments, some of these smaller Page 9 of 214

11 D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools packets can be lost, and this will cause the system to lose the entire frame, since parts of a NALU cannot be decoded by the decoder. However, by encoding a frame into several slices so that each slice size is smaller than MTU, each packet arrived at the decoder can be decoded correctly. We have implemented slice encoding and decoding into JMVC 5..5 by modifying the encoder, decoder and bit assembler. In the current version, encoder generates several numbers of slices for a frame according to the input slice size parameter. 2.2 Streamer Once the encoder runs the signal processing algorithms for compression in Video Coding Layer (VCL), the resultant data is encapsulated by the Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) for efficient delivery over packetized networks. Hence the output of the encoder is the NALU bit stream which inputs to the streamer. The streamer is basically responsible from the control of the transport. It encapsulates the NAL units into Real Time Transport Protocol (RTP), User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and finally Internet Protocol (IP) datagram and feed them to the encapsulator. Real-time Transport Protocol (RTP) is a well defined and standardized packet format for delivering audio and video over the Internet. RTP is designed for end-to-end, real-time, transfer of multimedia data. This protocol mainly deals with compensation and detection of out of sequence arrival in data that are common during transmissions on an IP network. RTP is used with an associated profile and payload format [4]. RTP payload format allows packetization of one or more NALUs as the RTP payload. Aggregation of NALUs with identical NALU-time (e.g. slices of a frame) is supported with Single Time Aggregation Packet (STAPs) and aggregation of different NALUs having not necessarily the same NALU-time is possible by means of Multi-Time Aggregation Packets. Depending on the transmission network characteristics; NALUs having sizes larger than MTU of the network are fragmented by RTP in order to avoid OSI level 3 network fragmentation. Fragmentation is only allowed for single NAL units (not with the aggregated packets.) 2.3 Encapsulator Up to now, all of the building blocks of our system were using protocols defined regardless of the physical transmission medium intended to be used. Encapsulator block is the part where the DVB- H specific packetization and error coding take place. For the implementation, as the encapsulator software, we have modified the open source software FATCAPS in order to transmit two services simultaneously by multiplexing and to employ our error resilience schemes for robust transmission [5][6]. MPE encapsulator takes the IP streams brought from various networks in order to put them into the transmission format of DVB-T physical layer so that they can be broadcast over the air. Firstly the MPE Frame table is constructed by filling the table with IP datagram bytes column-wise. The standard defines the table size; i.e. the number of rows that are allowed (256,512,768,124) and the number of columns. An RS code of (191,64) is defined limiting the number of RS columns to 64 letting a moderately strong code ratio ¾. The RS codeword are calculated row-wise, which Page 1 of 214

12 D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools provides the interleaving of the data to some extent. In case the application data do not fill all 191 columns, zero padding is utilized. Padding columns are not transmitted but the numbers of columns that are padded are indicated so that the MPE-Frame can be constructed correctly at the receiver side. This results in stronger code rates when the application data is smaller if the number of RS columns are kept constant; however instead of having stronger code rate, the transmitter can also choose to apply puncturing of the RS columns (simply do not send some of the RS columns to weaken the code), reducing the transmission bit-rate while having the same FEC ratio. After the construction of the MPE-FEC Frame table, each IP packet is encapsulated into an MPE section as the payload column-wise. MPE sections, beside the payload data as the IP datagram, include also a header and a 32-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) for the verification of payload integrity. Encapsulation of more than one IP datagram into a single section is not allowed. RS data is not sent together with the application data, they are encapsulated into MPE-FEC sections having a similar format with the MPE sections. End of Application Data Table is signaled in the header of the last MPE section so an FEC unaware user or a receiver who receives all the MPE sections correctly do not wait for MPE-FEC sections. MPE section sizes vary according to the variation of IP packet sizes; however MPE-FEC sections are of constant size each containing one RS column which is equal to the number of rows used. Last step of the encapsulator is to construct the TS stream using the MPE and MPE-FEC sections. The multiplexing of the programs are handled in the encapsulator also. The amount of data to be trasmitted in each of the time slice, the period of the bursts and other implementation details are determined according to the specifications of the input video stream such as the bitrate, fps. Encapsulator output in real transmission is fed to the modulator to broadcast the data. In our simulation system as explained before this part is handled with the introduction of the error pattern generated using a channel simulator with appropriate channel models and physical layer blocks. 2.4 Decapsulator Decapsulator is the unit where the received stream is processed for error detection and possibly correction. After the error detection and correction at the physical layer, Transport Error Indicator (TEI) bit in the header of the TS packet is set to 1 by the demodulator if it cannot correct the errors. TS packets are unpacked into MPE and MPE-FEC sections; the MPE frame is filled by the sections according to section erasure method, i.e. contents of the error-free MPE and MPE-FEC sections take their unique places in the MPE-FEC frame table and rest of the frame entries are marked as erasures. RS decoding is done according to the number of entries marked as correct in the MPE-Frame. Since each codeword is calculated row-wise, number of correctly received bytes in a row is checked for error correction. 2.5 Concealer The next block in the receiver side is the frame loss concealer which handles the lost NALUs during transmission. Error concealment is not a normative part of H.264/AVC. Two methods for intra and inter error concealment is added into H.264/AVC reference software as informative methods. Intra error concealment uses spatial interpolation using weighted averaging of neighbouring pixels. Inter error concealment uses MV prediction using neighbouring MVs and zero Page 11 of 214

13 D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools MV with a boundary matching algorithm. More information on H.264/AVC error concealment can be found in [3]. However, these concealment strategies are not included in the MVC software. In order to achieve error concealment, we have modified the JMVC 5..5 software to use basic frame/slice copy concealment in case of losses Frame Copy Concealment In order to implement frame copy concealment, we use a module (bitstream corrector) before decoding. Bitstream corrector inserts skip frames into the bitstream for the frames lost. Frame losses can be detected by checking the POC numbers of slices. If all slices of a frame are lost, this module inserts skip frame. Skip frame is a small byte stream consisting of all MBs coded by skip mode. By inserting skip frame decoder is enforced to use frame copy concealment method Slice Copy Concealment In case of slice losses, slice copy is done in the decoder. Every time a frame is initiated in the decoder, a value for each MB is initialized as NOT_DECODED. For every MB decoded, this flag is changed to DECODED. When the picture is finalized (when a new slice with a different POC number is about to be decoded), all MBs with NOT_DECODED flag is concealed as if they are encoded as skip MBs. This will enable slice copy concealment. In Hierarchical B-picture coding, the encoding/decoding order of the frames are not same as the display order (i.e. POC number are not consecutive). However using skip MBs or skip frames allow decoder to conceal current frame by using the frame that is first in the prediction buffer of the current frame. The first frame in the prediction buffer is the frame that is closest to the current frame in the encoding order. 2.6 Assembler This is simply the assembling of left and right streams before the decoder and it is necessary since JMVC software decoder takes the multi view coded streams in assembled format. The decoder uses the inter-view prediction references between the two streams so the assembling is done such that the frames of each stream are put in order containing one from left and one from right view streams. Since the assembling tool that comes with the JMVC reference software carries out the assembling according to frame numbers, it fails when there is a frame loss in any of the streams. Due to this, the assembler is rewritten to work with a stream with missing frames by inserting substitute NALUs into the stream for the lost frames. 2.7 Decoder Decoder is the last building block of the end-to-end transmission system. We ve integrated the JMVC 5..5 decoder to the system shown in Figure 2-1. The decoder is modified to support slice mode. Reference software decoder also does not support error handling. In order to handle frame losses, the error concealer described in Section 2.5 is used. For frames consisting of more than one slice, when some of the slices of a frame are lost, slice copy concealment is used. Note that this kind of loss is different than full frame losses, so the frame copy concealer is not utilized here. Page 12 of 214

14 D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools Slice copy concealment which is described in detail in Section 2.5.2, is implemented in the decoder for the slice mode. 3 Experimental Results We have performed different sets of both compression and transmission tests in order to find an effective compromise between compression efficiency and robustness with respect to typical channel conditions. This section is mainly focused on the simulations and experiments covering both the implementation details and numerical results. The following two subsections together with the present consist of detailed information about the test conditions, parameters and methods. Finally the subsequent sections provide the extensive results together with a comparative analysis and a discussion. 3.1 Experimental Setup Experimental setup consists of various blocks whose functionalities are explained in Section 2. Here in this part, we give the details of the procedures for each block and define the parameters that are significant for the tests. The major aim of the tests is to analyze the transmission of 3D video compressed and broadcasted to mobile targets. Therefore, there are various aspects of the processes that should be analyzed for different transmission tests. Mainly, in this report our aim is to evaluate the performance of error resilient methodologies and tools for the system shown in Figure 2-1. Error resilience is implemented in our system as the slice mode of the encoder and forward error correction existing in the link-layer of DVB-H. Using this tool we have come up with a variety of protection schemes to analyze the effect of content, coding and error correction coding using the results of numerous transmission tests. The parameters which determine the number of transmission tests are given in Table 3-1. First item, contents, is varied to see its effect on the performance of error resilience tools (methods) for the various transmission cases. 4 different contents are used for the experiments [11]. Contents are chosen such that a group of most commonly used contents (each having different characteristics) can be covered. Table 3-2 provides a brief description of contents in terms of motion and complexity together with their resolution and display frequency. Page 13 of 214

We ve discussed three major methods above and provided some transmission tests results about these methods in our previous works. These three coding methods, namely, Simulcast, MVC and Video + Depth are used here. While comparing the performance of different codecs under lossy channels, one has to assign equal resources to each stream at the physical layer. We know that MVC achieves better compression for a chosen PSNR when compared to Simulcast. Then this means that MVC requires lower bandwidth than Simulcast. However, the question of what should be done with the remaining bit-budget does not have a straightforward answer. The available bandwidth can be used to protect the data or the video quality can be increased. Therefore given a fixed transmission bandwidth for all methods, having Simulcast encoded bitstream at the desired bitrates, there may be a wide range of corresponding MVC bitstream to compare with it since constraint is on the total TS bitrates but not individually on the video bitrates or allowed protection bits. In this study we ve decided to test (compare) two extreme cases one of them being the equal quality and other being the equal bitrates cases. Here in our transmissions MVC corresponds to equal bitrates case and MVC2 corresponds to equal quality case. A similar argument is also valid for Video + Depth; so the VD is the equal bitrates case and VD2 is the equal quality case. But here note that VD2 was not found for all of the contents and testing cases due to the irregular evaluation of PSNR values for Video + Depth. More information about the selection of these bitstream will be provided in the following sections. Content Characteristics Width Height Fps HeidelbergAlleys Low Motion, High Detail KnightsQuest Computer Generated, RhineValleyMoving High Camera and Object Motion, Low Detail RollerBlade High Object Motion Table 3-2 Spatial and temporal characteristics of the contents Third item in Table 3-1 is the slice modes. This parameter is varied in order to see effect of slice size on the performance of DVB-H transmission. It is chosen to analyze the performance of the error resilience tool that we have introduced in our system. Fourth parameter of the transmission tests is the protection structures. This item represents the MPE-FEC rate of left and right views. Equal Error Protection (EEP) method assigns equal FEC rates to left and right views. Other four cases are all called Unequal Error Protection (UEP) methods and they are based on the unbalanced distribution of protection bits among left and right Page 14 of 214

16 D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools views. Also the UEP methods are not defined independently; they are defined as the transfer of x % of the protection bits existing for right/depth view protected with EEP FEC rate to the left view. Accordingly the various UEP cases correspond to various x values. Fifth parameter is the two total video bitrates of 2 views (left and right or left and depth) used in the experiments. Next parameter on Table 3-1 is the channel SNR values. The channel model to be used in the experiments is chosen according to DVB-H Guidelines [6]. The physical layer transmission parameters are chosen as typical values which are provided in Table 3-3. Using these parameters we are able to generate error patterns for specific SNR values. The SNR values are chosen also according to the DVB-H Guideline [6]. Modulation 16 QAM Convolutional Code Rate 2/3 Guard Interval 1/4 Channel Bandwidth 8 MHz Channel Model TU6 Carrier Frequency 666 MHz Doppler Shift 24 Hz Table 3-3 Physical Layer Transmission Parameters Chosen physical layer transmission parameters results in a channel capacity of bit/s. In order to carry out lossy transmission simulations, we used the mobile channel (COST27 Channel Model Typical Urban 6 taps) with 38,9 km/h receiver velocity relative to source (which corresponds to a maximum Doppler frequency = 24 Hz ) as the simulated channel model [7]. In the mobile channel model TU6, the channel characterized by an SNR value may show a highly time varying behaviour. This can be observed from Error! Reference source not found. where he histogram of TS packet loss rates encountered during 1 experiments is presented. It is observed that, a channel characterized by an especially low SNR value may encounter many different TS loss rates. Therefore, we try to evaluate the transmission schemes in a more accurate way rather than averaging the resultant PSNR values obtained from the all simulations for an SNR value. Finally the last parameter on the transmission tests parameters table (Table 3-1) is the number of experiments to carry out. Each experiment is carried out with a different error pattern from the main error pattern of corresponding channel SNR. Encoded and transmitted video quality is evaluated using PSNR metric.

PSNR values are in db scale and calculated for left and right views separately during the simulations. Joint PSNRs, PSNR j, are calculated using the average of the two MSEs. In case of Video + Depth sequences, since even for the lossless case there is an existing distortion (for PSNR metric) due to imperfections during depth estimation and rendering, original right view is not taken as the reference sequence. Instead the distortion of the Video + Depth transmissions are given as the PSNR of the received left sequence using original left view as reference; and the PSNR of the right sequence rendered from the received left and depth views using the right view rendered from original left and original depth. 3.2 Encoder QP-Set Parameter Selection Encoder parameter that affects the video quality and output bitrate is the quantization parameter. Once the quantization parameter is selected, there is not much left for a given content to improve the video quality while keeping the bitrate constant. However in case of multi view coding, since the encoding of one view depends on the other one, the selection of quantization parameters among various combinations for each view may have an improving effect on the resultant joint PSNR. One of the reasons of this is due to the prediction structure used in MVC. Multi-view coding method which we have explained previously has a prediction structure such that the anchor frames in right view are predicted from the left view. Left view being coded with a moderate quantization parameter will cause the right view to have a moderate quality even a better quantization parameter is utilized for right view. After several experiments, it has been observed that several combinations of QP assignments for left and right views may result in very close bitrate values meaning that there are more than a single combination, all providing the desired bitrate range. This observation suggests that the optimum combination of QP assignments between left and right views should be selected by comparing the joint PSNR values. For this purpose we have encoded our contents with QP values changing over different ranges and obtained distortion vs. bitrate curves as seen in Figure Figure 3-4. Another problem with the selection of QP s is due to the asymmetric bitrate requirements of Video + Depth method. In this method, since the depth information is smooth, it requires much lower bandwidth than any of the other views, and it compresses much efficiently resulting in ratios of one to ten after compression. This characteristics let us favor the left view video that will be transmitted together with the depth data since the total bandwidth can be used by the two programs unequally by assigning appropriate burst durations to each. The optimal distribution among the left view and depth data is also obtained using the same method explained above; by comparing the distortion values of each combination for several bitrates.

In this study, we have used the fixed burst duration method as this is the most common method in the current DVB-H systems. We assign two bursts/time slices for left and right/depth views with different program ids as if they are two separate streams to be broadcasted. The reason behind assigning two separate bursts is to achieve backward compatibility such that a 3D non-compatible user can still receive only the left burst to play monoscopic video. This can be achieved by adjusting the delta-t s of both bursts to signal the start of next left view burst. Therefore a mono-capable receiver will be able to turn off after the end of the first burst discarding the right view. There is a set of parameters chosen for each burst (or program in the context of the encapsulator) in order to realize the link layer encapsulation. The parameters to be set are: 1) Number of rows in MPE-FEC frame table (nrows), 2) Number of Application Data Table (ADT) columns in MPE-FEC frame table (nadtcols), 3) Number of Reed-Solomon (RS) columns in MPE-FEC frame table (nrscols), 4) Duration of the burst in seconds, 5) Delta-T, period of the burst in seconds. In our experiments, we followed the following procedure to construct the DVB-H transmission simulation setup: We assume that the frames per second (fps) and the sizes of each Group of Pictures (GOP) in both number of frames (ngopsizeframes) and bytes (ngopsizebytes) are given or can be obtained. In this report, we define a GOP as a collection of consecutive one I frame and Page 21 of 214

23 Counts Counts D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools following P frames until the next I frame. Therefore, number of frames in a GOP, ngopsizeframes, is equal to the I frame period. In the setup, we define a parameter, ngopsinaburst, which means how many GOPs to put in a burst. The reason why we place an integer multiple of GOPs in a burst is that since each GOP contains only one I frame with a size usually larger than P frames, the variance of GOP sizes in bytes is assumed to be minimized in this way. We prefer smallest variance in the GOP size in bytes since we employ fixed burst durations. Once we set ngopsinaburst, using the given video fps, delta-t can be calculated as ngopsizeframes x ngopsinaburst / fps. In the experiments, in order to avoid situations like discarding some of the packets in a burst because of exceeding the available bitrate due to variance in ngopsizebytes, we choose the nrows and burst duration by examining the (ngopsizebytes x ngopsinaburst) value and the length of corresponding TS bitstream of each burst. As shown in Figure Figure 3-12, the GOP size distributions of the simulcast encoded test videos cover a large range of sizes with high variance. Therefore, we use the maximum of ngopsizebytes x ngopsinaburst values among the bursts in nadtcols calculation. We start with an nrows value and if resultant nadtcols or nrscols values exceed maximum values (191 and 64) or resultant transport streams exceed available bitrate, we increase nrows to next possible larger value. nrows parameter can take discrete values as defined in the standard {256, 512, 768, and 124}. When the value of nrows is chosen, nadtcols can be calculated as ceil ( max ( ngopsizebytes x ngopsinaburst ) / nrows ). Using the desired MPE-FEC protection rate, nrscols is calculated. 1 HeidelbergAlleys, slice, sim, Left 6 HeidelbergAlleys, slice, sim, Right GOP Size in bytes x GOP Size in bytes x 1 4 Figure 3-9 GOP size distribution of Simulcast Left and Right View Sequence with Slice Mode Page 22 of 214

Among the resultant burst durations, we pick the largest one and label it as the maximum burst duration of the video encoded and transmitted with the given the parameters. When we want to simulate different coding and transmission schemes with the same channel Page 23 of 214

25 Schemes Schemes Schemes Schemes D3.4 Stereo DVB-H Broadcasting System with Error Resilient Tools conditions, it is required to provide same burst durations for each scheme for fair comparison. In this case, we first obtain resultant maximum burst durations of each scheme and pick the largest one to be used for all in the simulations.

Notice, there are two RS column values, initial and final. Initial value is calculated from the intended MPE-FEC rate and nadtcols. Final RS column values are obtained as follows: Since we use one burst duration value calculated from the maximum of possible burst duration for every scheme, some schemes cannot utilize all the available burst duration with initial nrscols value. In order for each scheme to fully utilize available bitrate, we assign more RS columns that can be placed in the excess burst duration. In this way, we obtain Page 24 of 214

33 3.4 Analysis of Coding and Transmission Parameters Metrics Used for Transmission Loss Analysis Transmission analysis requires the definition of loss metrics in order to make a fair comparison of the methods being tested. Loss is quantized for packet networks which means having an error pattern consisting of 1's and O's to denote the reliability (existence) of the corresponding units. Since we have a network layered structure we can define packet loss rates at different levels such as the, IP Packet Loss Rate, NALU Loss Rate, Video Frame Loss Rate... etc. While choosing loss metrics to use, the important point is to consider the layer where the compared methodologies are implemented so that the intermediate steps do not affect the evaluation of the results. MPE Frame Error Rate (MFER) is defined as: Number of Erroneous Frames after FEC 1 MFER(%) Total Number of Frames This metric is defined by the DVB Community in order to represent the losses in DVB H transmission system. However an MPE FEC frame is considered to be lost (erroneous) when the FEC decoding fails to correct a raw of the MPE frame. This causes a large variation in the video frame losses corresponding to a single MFER value. Also the same error pattern results in a variety of MFER values for different videos making the metric extremely content dependent. We have experimented with different contents and coding schemes using the same TS error pattern and found out that MFER values varies a lot. This can be observed from the Figure 3-17 to Figure Therefore, while comparing the different methodologies during the transmission tests, using MFER do not provide conclusive results since the comparison basis do not correspond to an independent property of video (correlation between video frame loss rate and MFER). In DVB-H transmission system, since MPE-FEC is defined in link layer and we implement the protection methods using MPE-FEC it is reasonable to use the TS PLR as a metric in order to see the performance of different FEC rate assignments. However one should note that TS PLR is defined as: Number of erroneousts packets TS PLR Number of total TS packets This means that we still do an averaging over different error patterns since two error patterns are considered to be the same as long as they involve equal number of errors regardless of the distributions of the errors inside the stream. Furthermore we represent the TS PLRs in a quantized manner since the each TS PLR provided is a combination of TS PLRs exist in a small range. Generally some additional parameters are used to define a TS PLR to differentiate the error Page 32 of 214

34 Counts Counts Counts patterns with different characteristics. DVB-H channel is characterized by errors occurring in bursts instead of single bit errors. Hence, generally parameters such as Average Burst Error Length (ABEL), Variance of Burst Error Length (VBEL) etc. are provided together with the TS PLRs. 2 Joint mean MFER histogram: HeidelbergAlleys SNR: MFER values (%) Figure 3-17 Histogram for MFER % Distribution at Channel SNR=17 3 Joint mean MFER histogram: HeidelbergAlleys SNR: MFER values (%) Figure 3-18 Histogram for MFER % Distribution at Channel SNR=18 Figure 3-19 Histogram for MFER % Distribution at Channel SNR= Joint mean MFER histogram: HeidelbergAlleys SNR: MFER values (%) Page 33 of 214

A common way of evaluating error resilience techniques is to compare the average distortion results of each method for each value of the channel SNR range that is being worked. Although looking at the average resultant PSNR values according to each channel SNR provide the overall tendencies of the methods tested; since a channel SNR value may contain many s (TS PLR) within as shown in Error! Reference source not found., this comparison method may not reveal Page 34 of 214

36 ll the information that can be extracted from the tests. Therefore we try to evaluate the transmission schemes in a more accurate way by also presenting the PSNR values of each TS PLR existing in a channel SNR. Hence each channel SNR has its own figure where distortion PSNRs is provided for the TS PLRs. One can easily recognize that TS PLR distributions tend to converge as channel SNR increases but still have variations for each channel SNR. Since all the schemes are granted same amount of burst durations and the error traces in the experiments affect the same locations in the transport stream, every scheme is assumed to encounter same TS loss rate for an experiment. Therefore for the coding method/slice mode/protection method comparisons, PSNR values of 1 experiments carried out for each channel SNR can be used. One example of such a plot is provided in Figure In this example even though coding and protection methods are merged for each slice mode in order to compare the slice modes, the figure is too complex to comment on. It can be said that slice5 mode (light blue colored points) have a smaller variance and noslice has the lowest PSNRs but still in the upper parts of the figure it is not possible to distinguish the different modes easily. Because of these reasons, we have decided to provide the PSNR vs. TS PLR figures of not all 1 experiments but a subsample of them and defined the winner top 1 and top 5 experiments. Winner top 1 means the experiment with the highest PSNR for the specific TS PLR. The reason we defined also top 5 is because there are also many cases where many experiments with the highest PSNR exist. Also for some tests, one method outperforms the other with a very small difference in PSNR. As mentioned earlier, rather than averaging the resultant PSNR values obtained from all the simulations for an SNR value, we prefer to use TS loss rate based evaluations. Since all the schemes are granted same amount of burst durations and the error traces in the experiments affect the same locations in the transport stream, every scheme is assumed to encounter same TS loss rate for an experiment. In the winning scheme based evaluations, we divide the TS loss rates ranges that are encountered in the experiments for an SNR into sub regions. In each sub region, we consider the experiments that resulted in a TS loss rate value falling onto the corresponding sub region. We calculate the PSNR values of all schemes for all the experiments and sort the PSNR values in descending order in each sub region. Then, for each experiment in the sub regions, we either consider the first value (Top 1) of sorted PSNRs or we consider the first five (Top 5) values. Finally, we present the number of occurrences of competing schemes in Top 1 or Top 5. The motivation behind dividing TS loss rate values into sub regions is to make more reliable and meaningful comparisons within similar TS loss rate values. As explained in the beginning of Section 3, PSNR calculation of Video + Depth and other methods is different. These results in a shift on distortion PSNR values of VD and VD2 compared to MVC, MVC2 and Sim. Putting the results of these five methods in a single figure results in a grouping where VD and VD2 experiments results are on the top and others below. Therefore we ve provided the comparison of MVC, MVC2 and Sim methods and VD, VD2 methods separately. The PSNR results of all transmission tests are provided also in tables in Table 3-7 to Table 3-14 for reference. Page 35 of 214

37 Figure 3-21 Example figure where distortion PSNRs are provided according to TS PLRs of a single Channel SNR. Here all of the experiment results are presented with a grouping according to slice modes Coding Method Comparisons In this section we compare the performance of the coding methods defined in Table 3-1. Top 1 & 5 Count and PSNR graphs of MVC (MVC2, Sim) and VD (VD2) are provided for each content and bitrate. Figure 3 15 is an example of a top 1 count graph given for the content HeidelbergAlleys encoded with 3 Kbps. The counts of the experiment methods resulted in the highest PSNR for the TS PLRs within a channel SNR is given as a subplot. Five different channel SNRs are given on top of each other. Coding method comparison figures are provided in the range Figure 3-22 to Figure From the winner top 1 & 5 figures it can be observed that for good channel conditions MVC has the best performance (low TS PLRs and high channel SNR). This is an expected result since the lossless quality of MVC is higher than both MVC2 and Simulcast since it compresses better than Simulcast and has higher bitrate than MVC2. For low channel SNR values (17 db in our case) as the TS PLR increases MVC2 becomes the leading coding method due to its high FEC rate for protection. It is clear that Simulcast would not be the preferred coding method for any of the conditions tested. On the other hand, for SNRs higher than 18 db MVC is clearly the winner. For channel SNR 17 dbs; since a clear winner for all TS PLR do not exist in Top 1 and Top 5 Count graphs, it may be helpful to check the PSNR vs. TS PLR graphs for these experiments since it Page 36 of 214

38 provides the PSNRs of the methods that follows the winner for a specific TS PLR. In most of the cases, when we check low TS PLRs, where MVC is better than MVC2, the PSNR difference of the two methods come from the original coding, since in low error rates, generally both methods can recover by the FEC. On the other hand, for high TS packet loss rates where MVC2 performs better, the PSNR difference between MVC and MVC2 varies according to the characteristics of the error pattern. Content dependency is more severe for VD - VD2 comparisons. Although VD outperforms VD2 most of the time, for some sequences such as RhineValley VD2 provides a more robust behavior compared to VD. It has distorted PSNR values concentrated in a range where the upper bound is approximately 2 db lower than the best cases (of VD) but it improves the high loss performance with a greater gain than that. Looking at this result one might easily say that VD2 would be preffered unless the channel is known to be near lossless most of the time. Unfortunately, we do not observe this result for the other contents. Page 37 of 214

81 3.4.3 Slice Mode Comparisons In this section, we compare the performance of the five different slice modes. Top 1 & 5 Count and PSNR graphs are in the same form of the ones provided in the previous section. This time, the coding (MVC, MVC2 and Sim in one figure, VD and VD2) and protection methods encoded with the same slice size are pooled into the same group. Therefore, we have 5 different cases to compare regardless of the other parameters. The results of the experiments are arranged in this way to compare the performance of slice modes and provided in Figure Figure Looking at the Top 1 & 5 Count and PSNR figures for MVC comparisons, it is clearly observed that slice modes have a superior performance over the noslice mode when the TS PLRs are high, especially at levels observed in channel SNR value of 17 db. It is expected that noslice will be the winner for low loss rates since it has the best rate-distortion performance as it does not have any slice overhead. In the experiments, most of the time, we observe that noslice turns out to be the winner for low loss rates while moving up to high channel SNRs. The reason is that at these levels of loss, error decoding can correct the errors, (recover the losses) regardless of the protection scheme used. Nevertheless, there also exist figures where we see that the winner at high channel SNRs is one of the slice modes. For these cases, if we look at the lossless PSNRs, we see that the slice mode is encoded with a slightly better PSNR, which may be a result of selection of the QPs for encoding. Since the bitrate vs. PSNR curve for a content encoded with some coding method is not continuous and different coding methods have their own curves, choosing a target bitrate requires also defining a margin in order to come up a with a solution. Generally, this margin is small enough such that the resultant bitrate difference does not correspond to a significant change in PSNR. One final conclusion that can be derived is that even though we say that the noslice is the winner for low loss conditions, the maximum difference between the winner noslice video PSNR and following slice mode video PSNR occurs to be at most.5 db. However, when there is loss such that the slice modes performance is dominant, the difference in PSNRs is generally much more significant. Therefore, using slice mode clearly provides more robustness. However, the slice size to be used should be selected according to the characteristics of the content since the results show that it is highly content dependent. Similar arguments hold for VD and VD2 comparisons also. Page 8 of 214

127 3.4.4 Protection Method Comparisons In this section, we compare the performance of the five different error protection modes which are Equal Error Protection (EEP) and Unequal Error Protection (4 different rates UEP1, UEP2, UEP3, UEP4) modes. The definition of EEP is to protect the left and right (depth) views equally. This is implemented by assigning the corresponding RS columns calculated from Application Data Columns and FEC rate. In our experiments, constant typical FEC rate (3/4) is chosen to protect the left and right (depth) bursts in EEP mode. Then several unequal protection schemes are derived using this EEP structure. The number of application data columns is determined by the GOP size distribution. Using the FEC rate chosen, number of RS columns is also calculated. Then for the first UEP scheme, 1/4 of the RS columns used to protect the bursts of the right view are transferred (added) to the RS columns of the left view. The distribution of FEC bits among various UEP schemes continues as 2/4, 3/4 and 1 % of the RS columns of right burst are transferred to the left burst respectively. Top 1 & 5 Count and PSNR graphs are in the same form of the ones provided in the previous sections. This time the videos are grouped according to their protection methods regardless of the coding methods (MVC, MVC2 and Sim in one figure, VD and VD2) and slice sizes. The results of the experiments are arranged in this way to compare the performance of protection methods and they are provided in Figure to Figure Looking at the figures, we see that EEP usually performs better than the others and especially when channel SNR value is greater than 17 db, EEP is clearly the winner. There are some exceptional cases where for some specific TS PLR, one of the UEP schemes (usually UEP1) becomes the winner. However, this does not affect the overall picture. Even when UEP becomes the winner, it is the one that has FEC rates closer to EEP than others. It can be observed from top 5 figures that UEP1 is having PSNR values close to EEP where EEP is the winner. Here it is important to note that these results are for an UEP method implemented by protecting left views more. The reference structure used in these experiments is not suitable to achieve better robustness using UEP. In our structure, only the anchor frame (I frame) of the right view depends on the I frames of the left view. Therefore, whenever there is a loss in P frames of left view, this error does not propagate to the right view. However, in our UEP schemes, we protect the P frames of the left view more than the frames of the right view. In the future works, we plan to study on UEP schemes that are better suited with the coding structure and investigate the UEP performance with new layering structures. Page 126 of 214
