Abstract

In this paper the authors present a methodology for building a model for packet loss effect on High Definition video content. 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 influence 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 perceived evaluation of a network performance for IPTV and video surveillance systems. The final model is generic and shows high correlation with the subjective results....
