The latest video coding standard H.264 supports variable size block motion prediction and compensation. Adapt to this new feature

a new temporal error concealment algorithm based on variable size block motion vector resilience

is proposed in this paper. Exploiting the correlation of adjacent macroblocks

the encoding mode of lost macroblock

partition pattern of lost macroblock

and the reference frame used in matching can be decided according to neighboring macroblocks’ encoding mode and used reference frame information

and then motion vector is recovered for each partitioned subblocks using side distortion matching method. Finally

simulation results show the proposed algorithm is superior to conventional temporal concealment methods for H.264 standard.
