Patent ID: 8254469

Claim:
A system, comprising: a receiver configured to receive a plurality of streams of encoded video frames, via respective channels; and a decoder configured to decode the plurality of streams to yield video frames based on the encoded video frames, the decoder includes a reconstruction component configured to reconstruct a first frame in a first stream of the plurality of streams corrupted during transmission with error concealment and reconstruct at least one frame subsequent to the first frame in the first stream based upon multi-hypothesis decoding, wherein the reconstruction component comprises a multi-hypothesis decoder including a direct decode component configured to directly decode the at least one frame subsequent to the first frame, the at least one frame directly or indirectly referring to the first frame and a concealment component configured to reconstruct the at least one frame subsequent to the first frame based at least in part on temporal interpolation and as a function of frames included in a second stream of the plurality of streams.
