The signal constellation of CSK relies on three different-color light sources invoked for information transmission. The CSK constellation has been optimized for minimizing the bit error rate, but no effort has been invested in investigating the feasibility of CSK aided unequal error protection (UEP) schemes conceived for video sources. Hence, in this treatise, we conceive a hierarchical CSK (HCSK) modulation scheme based on the traditional CSK, which is capable of generating interdependent layers of signals having different error probability, which can be readily reconfigured by changing its parameters. Furthermore, we conceived an HCSK design example for transmitting scalable video sources with the aid of a recursive systematic convolutional (RSC) code. An optimization method is conceived for enhancing the UEP and for improving the quality of the received video. Our simulation results show that the proposed optimized-UEP 16-HCSK-RSC system outperforms the traditional equal error protection scheme by ∼1.7 dB of optical SNR at a peak signal-to-noise ratio of 37 dB, while optical SNR savings of up to 6.5 dB are attained at a lower PSNR of 36 dB.

In this treatise we propose a video codec suitable for lossless video compression and IS CD. At the encoder the spatio-temporal redundancy is partially removed at a low complexity by simply evaluating the frame difference (FD), which is then variable-length encoded (VLC). At the receiver we invoke a three-stage concatenated IS CD scheme for exploiting the residual redundancy of the FD. A Markov Random Field (MRF) model based soft-in-soft-out (SISO) module is proposed for exploiting the spatial correlations amongst the adjacent video pixels, using intra-frame coding. More explicitly, the VLC SISO decoder operates by exchanging soft information with both the MRF module and the soft channel decoder. The convergence of the three-stage iterative decoding process is examined using 3D extrinsic information transfer (EXIT) charts. Finally, we show that our system exhibits a substantial Eb/NO improvement of about 5.2 dB compared to the corresponding benchmarker schemes.
