With the exponential growth of video-based services, the development of video transmission systems, and the advancement of consumer video technologies, it is becoming increasingly important to improve visual applications in order to meet the quality expectations of end users. While monitoring and controlling QoS parameters of the video transmission system is important for achieving high video quality, it is more crucial to evaluate video quality directly from the users’ perspective, which is known as quality of experience (QoE), or user-level quality of service (QoS). QoE-based video quality assessment is difficult because user experience is subjective, and hence hard to quantify and measure.
