Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Soft errors resulting from encoding video sequences on unreliable hardware can create significant artifacts in decoded video sequences, contributing to extreme video quality degradation. Modern systems are required to operate under increasingly challenging constraints, including smaller feature sizes and lower operating voltage, increasing the likelihood of soft errors in the video encoding hardware. These conditions are of particular concern for energy-limited battery-operated systems since they may be required to operate in nonideal environments and/or continue operating with a practically depleted energy source. The proposed parallel independent signature processing design performs error detection and mitigation in video encoding hardware, enabling a graceful degradation of quality when encoding by using unreliable hardware. The effects of soft errors are minimized by preventing the error propagation normally associated with errors in encoded video sequences. This allows for the recovery of quality when errors are present in the video encoding system. Conventional video encoding techniques are designed to handle worst case error rates by increasing gate sizes and/or increasing the operating voltage of the system. Such designs have error-rate limits, and when these limits are reached, the systems tend to fail catastrophically, resulting in an unrecoverable signal. The proposed design allows for single upset events to translate into single transient artifacts in a decoded video sequence.
