• Abstract: Video quality assessment (VQA) plays a critical role in optimizing video delivery systems. While numerous objective metrics have been proposed to approximate human perception, the perceived quality strongly depends on viewing conditions and display characteristics. Factors such as ambient lighting, display brightness, and resolution significantly influence the visibility of distortions. In this work, we address the question of the multi-screen quality assessment on mobile devices, as this area still tends to be under-covered. We introduce a first large-scale subjective dataset collected across more than different 300 Android devices, accompanied by metadata on viewing conditions and display properties. We propose a strategy for aggregated score extraction and adaptation of VQA models to device-specific quality estimation. Our results demonstrate that incorporating device and context information enables more accurate and flexible quality prediction, offering new opportunities for fine-grained optimization in streaming services. Ultimately, this work advances the development of perceptual quality models that bridge the gap between laboratory evaluations and the diverse conditions of real-world media consumption. We made the dataset and the code available at https://videoprocessing.github.io/device-viewing-conditions.

  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.
