In　this　paper,　a　multiple　description　video　coding　scheme　algorithm　compatible　with　H.264　standard　has　been　proposed.　First,　original　video　sequence　is　spatially　filtered　into　several　sub-sequences　with　lower　definition.　Then　every　sub-sequence　is　encoded　by　H.264　encoder,　generating　the　H.264　standard-compatible　compressed　bit-streams.　At　the　receiver,　according　to　the　various　cases　that　the　descriptions　are　corruptednecriptions　decoder　in　by　channel　errors,　different　methods　are　used　to　recover　lost　description　(s)　by　correctly　received　one　(s)　to　increase　the　decoded　video　quality.　Furthermore,　to　control　error　propagation　at　the　receiver,　we　refresh　the　reference　frame　of　decoder　for　the　lost　description　(s),　to　improve　the　subjective　quality　of　reconstructed　video.　Experimental　results　show　that,　compared　with　the　H.264　single　description　coding　method,　our　proposed　multiple　description　coding　method　can　provide　better　transmission　robustness.
