Techniques are disclosed for coding and decoding video data using object recognition and object modeling as a basis of coding and error recovery. A video decoder may decode coded video data received from a channel. The video decoder may perform object recognition on decoded video data obtained therefrom, and, when an object is recognized in the decoded video data, the video decoder may generate a model representing the recognized object. It may store data representing the model locally. The video decoder may communicate the model data to an encoder, which may form a basis of error mitigation and recovery. The video decoder also may monitor deviation patterns in the object model and associated patterns in audio content; if/when video decoding is suspended due to operational errors, the video decoder may generate simulated video data by analyzing audio data received during the suspension period and developing video data from the data model and deviation(s) associated with patterns detected from the audio data.

A signaling of the layer ID is described which each of the packets of a multi-layered video signal is associated with. In particular, an efficient way of signaling this layer association is achieved, with nevertheless maintaining the backward compatibility with codecs according to which a certain value of the base layer-ID field is restricted to be non-extendable such as base layer-ID value 0 in the base layer-ID field. Instead of circumventing this restriction specifically with respect to this non-extendable base layer-ID value, the layer-ID of portions of the multi-layer data stream is signaled in an extendable manner by sub-dividing the base layer-ID field into a first sub-field and a second sub-field: whenever the first sub-field of the base layer-ID field fulfills a predetermined criterion, an extension layer-ID field is provided, and if the first sub-field of the base layer-ID field does not fulfill the predetermined criterion, the extension layer-ID field is omitted.

Systems and methods are presented for reliable transmission of time-sensitive data. In particular, various embodiments provide for the generation of compressed sequential data, where individual instances of a sequence represent differentials from prior instances in that sequence. In order to reduce an amount of data that needs to be transmitted, instances of data (such as individual video frames) can be provided using a prior video frame as a reference, sending only data for those pixel locations where the pixel value differs from the reference frame. A reference frame can include a previously-received and successfully-decoded frame, in order to minimize the impact of dropped, incomplete, or corrupted frames. In order to further reduce data transmission requirements, a reference frame can be selected which is determined to be optimal for the current frame, such as may represent a least amount of data to be transmitted for a given frame.
