TLDR
The independent test results from the VQEG FR-TV Phase II tests are summarized, as well as results from eleven other subjective data sets that were used to develop the NTIA General Model.Abstract:
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) General Model for estimating video quality and its associated calibration techniques were independently evaluated by the Video Quality Experts Group (VQEG) in their Phase II Full Reference Television (FR-TV) test. The NTIA General Model was the only video quality estimator that was in the top performing group for both the 525-line and 625-line video tests. As a result, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) adopted the NTIA General Model and its associated calibration techniques as a North American Standard in 2003. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has also included the NTIA General Model as a normative method in two Draft Recommendations. This paper presents a description of the NTIA General Model and its associated calibration techniques. The independent test results from the VQEG FR-TV Phase II tests are summarized, as well as results from eleven other subjective data sets that were used to develop the method.read more

Cost Efficient Educational Multimedia Delivery.
TL;DR: This research thesis proposes an adaptive mechanism that considers learner willingness to pay for the multimedia content, learner location, consumption history, billing plan, age and gender, learning achievements, and the various savings obtained when the adaptive mechanism is used in order to personalise the cost of delivery for learners.

Begin with the End in Mind: A Unified End-to-End Quality-of-Experience Monitoring, Optimization, and Management Framework
Zhou Wang,Abdul Rehman +1 more
TL;DR: This work proposes a new framework that uses a unified end-to-end solution to produce consistent QoE scores at all points along the delivery chain under the same evaluation criterion, and shows that the SSIMPLUS metric offers the best promise.

RT-VQM: real-time video quality assessment for adaptive video streaming using GPUs
TL;DR: The Real-Time Video Quality Metric (RT-VQM), a real-time, Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) supported version of the widely used video quality metric, outperforms VQM by a factor of 30, thus enabling a real time assessment of up to 9 parallel video stream representations up to High Definition (HD) 720 resolution at 30fps.

PeQASO: Perceptual Quality Assessment of Streamed Videos Using Optical Flow Features
TL;DR: This paper considers both sources of artifacts and distortions in streaming, including compression artifacts, and introduces PeQASO, a perceptual quality assessment framework for streamed videos using optical flow features and shows that the metric estimates the perceptual quality at the sequence level accurately.

QoE and QoS in wireless mesh networks
TL;DR: This paper is an additional analysis of the proposed routing protocol OLSR-DC, from a perspective of the network (QoS) and of the user (QoE), and simulations were performed to demonstrate the performance of OLSr-DC compared against original OLSS and its ETX and MD versions.

DVQ: A digital video quality metric based on human vision
TL;DR: The Digital Video Quality (DVQ) metric as discussed by the authors is based on the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and incorporates aspects of early visual processing, including light adaptation, luminance and chromatic channels, spatial and temporal filtering, spatial frequency channels, contrast masking, and probability summation.

Digital video quality metric based on human vision
TL;DR: A new digital video quality metric, which is based on the discrete cosine transform, which incorporates aspects of early visual pro- cessing, including light adaptation, luminance, and chromatic chan- nels; spatial and temporal filtering; spatial frequency channels; con- trast masking; and probability summation.
Video Quality Measurement Techniques
TL;DR: The goal of this report is to provide a complete description of the ITS video quality metric (VQM) algorithms and techniques, which provide close approximations to the overall quality impressions, or mean opinion scores, of digital video impairments that have been graded by panels of viewers.

PVQM – A perceptual video quality measure
Andries Pieter Hekstra,John G. Beerends,D. Ledermann,F. E. de Caluwe,S. Kohler,Robert Hendrik Koenen,S. Rihs,M. Ehrsam,D. Schlauss +8 more
TL;DR: A perceptual video quality system is proposed, that uses a linear combination of three indicators, the “edginess” of the luminance, the normalized color error and the temporal decorrelation, that showed the highest variance weighted regression overall correlation of all models.
