SPECIAL TOPICSVideo Multiple Description Coding (MDC)
Prof. Enrico MagliCampione Salvatore 145781Peraldo Lorenzo150327
 
Brief overview and general description
The aim of this project is to point out the performances of a multiple descriptionalgorithm.The MDC algorithm used in this project is the temporal division: two descriptions of thesame video (table.yuv, made of 30 frames, 352x288) are created by means of aMATLAB function (Multidescription.m
)
; each description is characterized by 15 frames(one takes the even frame, table_sideR.yuv, and the other the odd frame,table_sideL.yuv).Then, H.264 encoder/decoder (last version available) is applied to each sequence and, bymeans of another MATLAB function (Reconstruction.m), the central description (i.e. thedescription obtained when both sequences are received) is reconstructed(table_recon.yuv).If only one of the two descriptions is received, an Interpolation algorithm has to beapplied in order to obtain a 30-frame video; depending on which description (left or right)is received, a slightly different algorithm is implemented: InterpolationL.m andInterpolationR.m. A linear interpolation is used and where it couldn’t be applied, we justreplicated one frame (i.e. last frame in odd description and first frame in evendescription).The goals are to carry out some graphs which relate:
•
Central PSNR vs Side PSNR
•
Side PSNR vs Bit-Rate
•
Side PSNR vs Quality factor
•
Bit-Rate comparison between a situation where MDC is used and where is notThe PSNR data are computed using MSU Visual Quality Measurement Tools.
Simulation results
Central PSNR vs Side PSNR 
The analysis is done with constant quality factor. The results are the following:

Side PSNR vs Bit-Rate
This simulation compares the performances of both side descriptions in terms of PSNRvs Bit-Rate.
