Abstract

An approach for derivation a QoE model of High Definition video streaming in existence of packet losses of different patterns is presented. The goal is achieved using the SSIM video quality metric, temporal pooling techniques and content characteristics. Subjective tests were performed in order to verify proposed models. An impact of several network loss patterns on diverse video content is analyzed. The paper deals also with encountered difficulties and presents intermediate steps to give a better understanding of the final result. The research aims at the evaluation of a perceived performance of IPTV and video surveillance systems. The model has been evaluated in the Quality of Experience (QoE) domain. The final model is generic and shows high correlation with the subjective results.
