Missing mroloks n e reonstrute using simple iliner interpoltion (BI) from four pixels in surrouning mrolok [2], omplex iretionl interpoltion tehniques [3 5], n the DCT oeffiients interpoltion from the neighoring mro loks [6, 7].

The lost lok is reovere using the pixel vlues opie or trnsforme from the orresponing prt of the est nite lok. The BNM metho n perform well in the plin res without omplex eges n textures.

In our metho, four nite preition vlues for eh missing pixel will e otine y performing templte mthing for eh neighor region. The preition for missing pixel p involves the following two steps. First, the est nite region R X is etermine within serhing rnge (enote y W) in the imge y using templte mthing. The men solute ifferenes (MAD) etween R X n the trget region with the sme size re use s the riterion to evlute the mthing result. Seon, the orresponing pixel p, whose reltive position to the R is equl to the reltive position of p to R X, oul e set s the preition for p erive from neighor region R X. In orer to improve the ury of preition p, three onstrints re impose s elow: 1) eh pixel in the est nite region R X shoul e vli; 2) p must e vli; 3) p must e pixel outsie urrent lok eing onele, euse we voi to reover the missing pixel from onele pixel in the sme orrupte lok for preventing the possile error propgtion.

Thus the MMAD vlue n e use to mesure the qulity of the ultimte reovery results. Generlly speking, preition otine with smller MMAD vlue shoul ontriute more to the reonstrution of missing pixel. In orer to quntittively evlute the effet of MMAD on reonstrution of the missing pixel p, we perform extensive experiments to ount the proportion of the orret (extly the sme s the originl ones in imge) preitions mong ll the preitions hving the sme MMAD vlue. The vlues of MMAD re normlize y the mximum vlue to hve the rnge [0, 1]. To only regr the effet of MMAD, the istne ftor n the sttus ftor re kept fixe uring the tests.

Therefore, we further integrte the norml BNM results into the propose metho to improve its performne in the plin re in n imge. Speifilly, the reovery proeure is expne s follows: 1) Fining the est mthing lok of the orrupte lok through templte mthing y the BNM metho.

The isophote flow is efine s the ege informtion in the imge with the iretion perpeniulr to the whole ounry rossing through the missing pixel.

Themethoproposein[6] is performe in DCT omin. The methos isusse in [14] n[18] respetively use NUBRS n POCS tehnique. The pprohes in [9 11] fous on improving interpoltion methos. Exept the experimentl results re offere se on our implementtion sttion, ll the results re ite from the originl ppers. We hoose severl stnr imges, inluing Len, Pepper, n Zel with the size of 512x512 n the foremn vieo sequene with the size of 352x288. In our experiments, lok size is fixe t 16x16, the serh rnge W is 48x32, n the neighor region size equls to 1x16 for ll the test imges. The threshol vlue in similrity ftor (T s ) is set to 20 y mny experiments, n the justing prmeter T σ equl to I s of Eq. (12) to mke it ptive with imge. As for the prmeter of sttus ftor (T ), we try ifferent vlues for severl test imges in onseutive error ptterns (25% lok-loss rtio) to eie its proper vlue. Tle 1 shows optiml prmeter is little flutunt with ifferent imges, ut ifferenes re negligile. Thus, T tkes fixe vlue 2. Firstly two kins of ifferent lok-loss situtions re investigte. One kin of imges re pture uner the se of isolte lok losses with the lok-loss rtio of 10%, while the other one is pture uner the se of onseutive lok losses with the lok-loss rtio of 25%. Tle 2 shows the omprison results in the se of isolte lok losses, while Tle 3 shows the results of onseutive lok losses. Moreover, the visul

In terms of PSNR, our onelment result is higher or omprle with stte-of-the-rt methos ([9, 10]) for Len n foremn in the isolte lok loss se. As for Pepper n Zel imge, we notie these two imges hve ovious illumintion vrition whih mke the similrity ftor n the justing prmeter (ompute y Soel opertor) impreise, thus result in egrtion of reovery qulity. However, the sujetive pereption of our metho presente in Fig. 7() n Fig. 8() prove to e stisftory. In the onseutive error sitution, our metho outperforms others in most test imges exept Zel, in whih Ghrvi s metho[11] is 0.35 higher thn us. This exeption n e overlooke in ontext of error onelment. As for visul qulity omprison, the propose metho n reover the ege informtion well n protet the none-ege re well from the isturne of wrong eges. In prtie, errors often hppen to one imge in rnom wy. To simulte suh ses, we further set three ifferent rnom ptterns inste of the regulr ptterns with the lokloss rtio of 5%, 10% n 20% respetively. Tle 4 shows the PSNR omprison results for Len n orresponing sujetive improvements n e notie in Figs. 14 n 15, espeilly in the re of omplex texture strutures like eyes. 4 Conlusions We hve propose n ptive pixel interpoltion tehnique for sptil error onelment in the lok se oing system. For missing pixel in orrupte lok, we otin set of preition vlues erive from four neighorhoos of the lok n then the missing pixel n e reovere through ptive interpoltion, lying ifferent importne on these preition vlues. More importntly, it enles the reovery of the onseutive loks loss, whih is the most often t loss pttern in prtie.
