Abstract

The goal of this work is to develop an audiovisual quality model for estimating the quality as perceived by the user of video streaming services such as IPTV. It aims at presenting the steps to be completed for fulfilling this objective. It also covers background information necessary for understanding the choices made at each step of the model development and puts the model in a general Quality of Experience (QoE) framework.

Notes

  1. 1.

    Blockiness—or block distortion—is defined in ITU P.930 as the distortion of the image characterized by the appearance of an underlying block encoding structure.

  2. 2.

    An IDR frame is a specific type of I-frame in H.264. If the decoder receives an IDR frame, it can refresh its buffer since no frame after the IDR frame can reference any frame before it.

  3. 3.

    Quality ratings estimated by (preferably) FR quality models could be used as complement, but the model developed based on these ratings then mimics shortcomings of the FR model.
