An alternative to the MPEG-4 object-based error resilient video syntax

This paper addresses object-based error resilient video source coding. Specifically, the current error resilient object-based syntax used in MPEG-4 is compared to a proposed alternative syntax. Some results are presented for two MPEG-4 test sequences, and for two relevant error conditions. The results are presented in terms of two distortion measures, one for texture and one for shape.
