This paper introduces a new framework for error concealment in block-based image coding systems: sequential recovery. Unlike previous approaches that simultaneously recover the pix...
Exception handling is a powerful abstraction that can be used to help manage errors and support the construction of reliable operating systems. Using exceptions to notify system co...
