Quality of Experience (QoE) of Internet services is affected by human, system, and context influence factors. While most QoE studies so far are focused on system factors only, this work will assess the impact of context factors of video streaming on QoE. As video streaming is mostly consumed from web pages, such as video portals, the investigated test conditions are applied to the web page, which...
Crowdsourcing has become a popular method in the field of video quality evaluation. Gathering the opinion of the users using crowdsourcing is quick and relatively cheap but such a study has to be designed very carefully in order to give relevant results. So far, the majority of the QoE studies using crowdsourcing has been focusing on the performance of H.264/AVC algorithm in different situations (such...
Adaptive crowdsourcing is a new approach to crowdsourced Quality of Experience (QoE) studies, which aims to improve the certainty of resulting QoE models by adaptively distributing a fixed budget of user ratings to the test conditions. The main idea of the adaptation is to dynamically allocate the next rating to a condition, for which the submitted ratings so far show a low certainty. This paper investigates...
Nowadays, there are many kinds of technologies to provide multimedia TV content in different formats and picture quality. Three-dimensional (3D) video is one of the next generation TV services with specific features from the video image quality point of view. Naturally, efficient compression tools enabling significant bit rate reduction to ease 3D video distribution are an integral part of any practical...
The number of wirelessly connected multimedia devices and different communication standards, supported by these devices, is rapidly increasing. However, the appropriate frequency bands (licensed and unlicensed) for data transmission by these standards are very limited. The rising density of wireless networks and their coexistence in the same or adjacent radio frequency (RF) spectrum can significantly...
Video content represents majority of the data available on the Internet. Streaming services like YouTube, Vimeo, NetFlix and others generate more than 60% of the overall Internet traffic, according to recent studies. This results in high demands on the quality of the broadband connection. The user usually wants to get the highest media quality, no matter the quality of the connection. This is where...
This paper deals with the most recent video coding standard H.265/HEVC. HEVC introduces new coding tools compared to older standards. Such a change has to influence the encoder complexity and will have influence on the encoding speed. In this paper, we focus on the performance of different implementations of the HEVC. The encoders are compared on the basis of final video quality and encoding speed...
