Low-rate video is widely used especially in mobile communications.

H.264/AVC (advanced video coding) is well suited

for the real-time error resilient transport over packet oriented

networks. In real-time communications, lost packets at the

receiver cannot be avoided. Therefore, it is essential to design

efficient error concealment methods which allow to visually

reduce the degradation caused by the missing information.

Each method has its own quality of reconstruction.

We implemented various efficient error concealment techniques

and investigated their performance in different scenarios.

As a result, we propose and evaluate an adaptive error

concealment mechanism that accomplishes both - good

performance and low complexity enabling the deployment

for mobile video streaming applications. This mechanism

selects suitable error concealment method according to the

amount of instantaneous spatial and temporal information of

the video sequence.
