Error Robustness Assessment of MV-HEVC Encoded Data

Error resilience (ER) and error concealment (EC) algorithms play a vital role in reducing the error propagation effect in video standards. However, the implementation of a robust ER or EC algorithm depends on analyzing the effects of error propagation in the video data. This paper examines the sensitivity of MV-HEVC bitstream under error-prone conditions. This analysis focuses on error propagation within the Network Abstraction Layer (NAL) and its impact on the Video Coding Layer (VCL) and the Non-VCL. The experimental results show that the VCL NAL and the Non-VCL active area are the most sensitive encoded data in the MV-HEVC bitstream.
