Streaming video models should respond the moment an event unfolds, not after the moment has passed. Yet existing online VideoQA benchmarks remain largely retrospective. They pause the video at fixed timestamps, pose questions about current…
In this work, we propose a novel no-reference (NR) video quality metric that evaluates the impact of frame freezing due to either packet loss or late arrival. Our metric uses a trained neural network acting on features that are chosen to…
Among the various means to evaluate the quality of video streams, No-Reference (NR) methods have low computation and may be executed on thin clients. Thus, NR algorithms would be perfect candidates in cases of real-time quality assessment,…
Many different parametric models for video quality assessment have been proposed in the past few years. This paper presents a review of nine recent models which cover a wide range of methodologies and have been validated for estimating…
Point cloud is one of the most widely used digital formats of 3D models, the visual quality of which is quite sensitive to distortions such as downsampling, noise, and compression. To tackle the challenge of point cloud quality assessment…
Quality assessment of videos is crucial for many computer graphics applications, including video games, virtual reality, and augmented reality, where visual performance has a significant impact on user experience. When test videos cannot be…
Dynamic adaptive streaming over HTTP provides the work of most multimedia services, however, the nature of this technology further complicates the assessment of the QoE (Quality of Experience). In this paper, the influence of various…
Digital images contain a lot of redundancies, therefore, compressions are applied to reduce the image size without the loss of reasonable image quality. The same become more prominent in the case of videos that contains image sequences and…
With the increased interest in immersive experiences, point cloud came to birth and was widely adopted as the first choice to represent 3D media. Besides several distortions that could affect the 3D content spanning from acquisition to…
Recent work suggests that TCP throughput stability and predictability within a video viewing session can inform the design of better video bitrate adaptation algorithms. Despite a rich tradition of Internet measurement, however, our…
The objective speech quality assessment is usually conducted by comparing received speech signal with its clean reference, while human beings are capable of evaluating the speech quality without any reference, such as in the mean opinion…
Deep learning-based quality assessments have significantly enhanced perceptual multimedia quality assessment, however it is still in the early stages for 3D visual data such as 3D point clouds (PCs). Due to the high volume of 3D-PCs, such…
This paper aims to improve video streaming by leveraging a simple observation: users are more sensitive to low quality in certain parts of a video than in others. For instance, rebuffering during key moments of a sports video (e.g., before…
Video quality assessment (VQA) is vital for computer vision tasks, but existing approaches face major limitations: full-reference (FR) metrics require clean reference videos, and most no-reference (NR) models depend on training on costly…
With the increasing demand for audiovisual services, telecom service providers and application developers are compelled to ensure that their services provide the best possible user experience. Particularly, services such as…
This paper studies the quality of multimedia content focusing on 360 video and ambisonic spatial audio reproduced using a head-mounted display and a multichannel loudspeaker setup. Encoding parameters following basic video quality test…
To provide a better streaming experience, video clients today select their video rates by observing and estimating the available capacity. Recent work has shown that capacity estimation is fraught with difficulties because of complex…
Point cloud video has been widely used by augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications as it allows users to have an immersive experience of six degrees of freedom (6DoFs). Yet there is still a lack of research on quality of…
In today's Internet, HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) is the mainstream standard for video streaming, which switches the bitrate of the video content based on an Adaptive BitRate (ABR) algorithm. An effective Quality of Experience (QoE)…
This paper aims to reduce the prebuffering requirements, while maintaining continuity, for video streaming. Current approaches do this by making use of adaptive media playout (AMP) to reduce the playout rate. However, this introduces…
