Abstract
Error concealment is one of the techniques that have been adopted to recover corrupted information for video transmission. The error concealment is generally classified into two classes. One is the spatial error concealment (SEC), and the other is the temporal error concealment (TEC). To this day although numerous TEC algorithms have been proposed to recover the lost MBs, the order to recover lost MBs is not well considered. In this article, an adaptive and efficient processing order for temporal error concealment is proposed. With recovering the important lost MBs early, the other lost MBs can get some important information from these neighboring concealed MBs when they are recovered. Because of all, the performance will be better. Here, the processing order of all the lost MBs is determined by three factors.
