Videos are Everywhere

Cisco’s Virtual Network Index “In 2011, video traffic accounted for more than 50% in mobile networks” Evaluating mobile video quality becomes a hot topic

Important for content providers and network services providers

Assessing Video Quality

  • Subjective video quality metrics
  • Mean Opinion Score (MOS): Ranging from 1 to 5
  • Evaluated by human viewers
  • High cost
  • Objective video quality metrics

 Evaluated by computer programs  To approximate subjective measurement, MOS

Evaluation for Mobile Videos

 Low computational power requirement  Video codec independent  Network impairment estimation  No original (reference) videos  Correlated to subjective scores

Outline

 Objective

Video Quality

 Temporal Variation Metric (TVM)

 Measure temporal information at low cost

 Temporal Variation Index (TVI)

 Reduced-reference video quality metric  Estimates subjective video quality  Estimates network impairments

Spatial and Temporal Quality

 Spatial quality assessment

 Blocking and blurring  Image quality measurement  Pixel-by-pixel comparison (e.g. PSNR, SSIM)

 Temporal quality assessment

 Jerkiness and freezing  Optical flows  More pervasive in wireless mobile networks

Network Experiments

 Set up an 802.11n single-hop testbed  Streaming videos (3 motion groups)  Introduce packet loss and delay  Calculate TVM and TVI  Collect 183 video samples

Detecting Packet Loss

 Causes blocking, blurring and freezing  TVM in received video is inconsistent with that in the

  • riginal video

 Freezing leads to infinite TVM

Estimating Packet Loss Rate

 Strong linear correlation  Evaluated with 45 videos  Pearson correlation coefficient

ranges from 0.90 to 0.96

Detecting End-to-End Delay

 Results in freezing  Infinite TVM values  TVM of the received video is like a delayed version of

that of the original video

Estimating End-to-End Delay

 Evaluated by randomly chosen videos  The average accuracy rate ~ 95% delay happens

Conclusions

 TVM to measure the temporal information at low cost  Derive TVI as a quality and network condition predictor  TVI is highly correlated with MOS (0.925)  TVI is highly correlated with packet loss rate (0.94)  Predict end-to-end delay with 95% accuracy
