QoE Measurement Software Package Working in No-Reference Model
5
15 Independent Quality Indicators» Blackout» Blockiness» Block Loss» Blur» Contrast» Exposure» Flickering» Freezing» Interlacing» Letter-boxing» Noise» Pillar-boxing» Slicing» Spatial Activity (SA)» Temporal Activity (TA)
6
Details (1/2)» No need to access
source sequences» Transparent to video
codec:– Operating on
decompressed video frames
– Even HDMI capture
7
Details (2/2)
» Utilizes modern multi-threaded architecture of processing units
» Metrics don’t use closed libraries (source code is easily portable)
» Designed modularly (modularity = easier testing and integration)
» Based on our and others’ scientific work
8
No Uniform MOS ScaleMapping
» Unknown specific user» Different needs for different scenarios» Difficult to compare our work with others’» Necessity of such mapping definition in future» Partial solution is Support Vector Machine
(SVM) model mapping on Video Quality Metric (VQM)
9
VQM Mapping
» All sequences: 1080p from Consumer Digital Video Library (CDVL)
» Source sequences (SRC) split to chunks 2 seconds long
» Total number of chunks: 361» 10 different compression conditions (HRC)» VQM calculated for 2 seconds sequences
10
Predictors
» Blockiness» Spatial Activity (SA)» Blur» Noise
» SVM (R-Squared form 0.6 to 0.76)» Linear model (Adjusted R-Squared 0.689)
