• Authors: Wei Zhou, Xiongkuo Min, Hong Li, Qiuping Jiang
• Abstract summary: Quality of experience (QoE) assessment for adaptive video streaming plays a significant role in advanced network management systems. We analyze and compare different variations of objective QoE assessment models with or without using machine learning techniques for adaptive video streaming. We find that existing video streaming QoE assessment models still have limited performance, which makes it difficult to be applied in practical communication systems.

• Abstract: Quality of experience (QoE) assessment for adaptive video streaming plays a significant role in advanced network management systems. It is especially challenging in case of dynamic adaptive streaming schemes over HTTP (DASH) which has increasingly complex characteristics including additional playback issues. In this paper, we provide a brief overview of adaptive video streaming quality assessment. Upon our review of related works, we analyze and compare different variations of objective QoE assessment models with or without using machine learning techniques for adaptive video streaming. Through the performance analysis, we observe that hybrid models perform better than both quality-of-service (QoS) driven QoE approaches and signal fidelity measurement. Moreover, the machine learning-based model slightly outperforms the model without using machine learning for the same setting. In addition, we find that existing video streaming QoE assessment models still have limited performance, which makes it difficult to be applied in practical communication systems. Therefore, based on the success of deep learned feature representations for traditional video quality prediction, we also apply the off-the-shelf deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) to evaluate the perceptual quality of streaming videos, where the spatio-temporal properties of streaming videos are taken into consideration. Experiments demonstrate its superiority, which sheds light on the future development of specifically designed deep learning frameworks for adaptive video streaming quality assessment. We believe this survey can serve as a guideline for QoE assessment of adaptive video streaming.

  We introduce the LIVE-Viasat Real-World Satellite QoE Database. This database consists of 179 videos recorded from real-world streaming services affected by various authentic distortion patterns. We demonstrate the usefulness of this unique new resource by evaluating the efficacy of QoE-prediction models on it. We also created a new model that maps the network parameters to predicted human perception scores, which can be used by ISPs to optimize the video streaming quality of their networks.

We propose an end-to-end QoE evaluation model, Tao-QoE, which integrates multi-scale semantic features and optical flow-based motion features.

  Blind quality prediction of in-the-wild videos is quite challenging, since the quality degradations of content are unpredictable, complicated, and often commingled. Here we contribute to advancing the problem by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of leading VQA models. By employing a feature selection strategy on top of leading VQA model features, we are able to extract 60 of the 763 statistical features used by the leading models. Our experimental results show that VIDEVAL achieves state-of-theart performance at considerably lower computational cost than other leading models.
