Adaptive reconstruction based multiple description coding with randomly offset quantizations

In this paper, we propose a novel multiple description image coding (MDC) method,which can be called adaptive reconstruction based multiple description coding with randomly offset quantizations (ARMDROQ). In this scheme, two prediction modes are proposed, which are be defined as mode 1 and mode 2 respectively. Specifically, in the proposed ARMDROQ scheme, the input image is partitioned into M subsets and obtaining M descriptions. Then one subset of each description is encoded and decoded directly, while others are predicted encoded and decoded by using adaptive prediction modes. The experimental results show that the proposed scheme achieves better performance than other existing methods.
