Subjective QoE Evaluation of User-Centered Adaptive Streaming of Dynamic Point Clouds

Technological advances in head-mounted displays and novel real-time 3D acquisition and reconstruction solutions have fostered the development of 6 Degrees of Freedom (6DoF) teleimmersive systems for social VR applications. Point clouds have emerged as a popular format for such applications, owing to their simplicity and versatility; yet,...

Visual Quality of Experience: A Metric-Driven Perspective

Multimedia systems are typically optimized in a way that maximizes users’ satisfaction of using the systems/services. This user satisfaction is what is commonly referred to as Quality of Experience (QoE). For visual media, such as images and videos, the optimization of QoE has meant reducing the visibility of artifacts (e.g. noise or other...

Estimating the impact of single and multiple freezes on video quality

This paper studies the impact of freezing of video on quality as experienced by users. Two types of freezes are investigated. First a freeze where the image pauses, so no frames were lost (frame halt). In the second type of freeze, the image freezes and skips that part of the video (frame drop). Measuring Mean Opinion Score (MOS) was done by...
