This thesis proposes a novel system to determine the best representation of a video in the sense that, a user watching the video reaches the highest level of satisfaction possible, given the resource capabilities of the viewing device. Utility theory is used to obtain a utility function representing the user satisfaction as a function of video coding parameters, and the viewing device capabilities. The utility function is formulated as the weighted sum of three individual components. These components are chosen such that, the satisfaction on any one of the components is independent of the satisfaction on every other component. The advantage of such decomposition is the ability to express individual components as simple mathematical relations, modeling user satisfaction. Afterwards, the unknown parameters of these models are determined by results of subjective tests, performed by a multitude of users. Finally, simulated annealing is utilized to find the global optimum of this utility function representing the user satisfaction. Simulation results based on subjective viewing tests on a resource limited mobile device indicate a consistent user satisfaction by the determined optimal encoding parameters of the video.

Video adaptation based on content characteristics and hardware capabilities
Onur, Ozgur Deniz; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın (2007-12-18)
The subjective user satisfaction related to viewing a video on a resource constrained mobile device is modeled by using a utility function. The resulting models account for different video content characteristics and varying hardware capabilities of the viewing device. The user satisfaction is divided into two independent components, namely the temporal and the spatial satisfaction. Subjective video evaluation experiments are performed to obtain the models for each component. These components are combined b...
Flexible Content Extraction and Querying for Videos
Demir, Utku; KOYUNCU, Murat; Yazıcı, Adnan; Yilmaz, Turgay; SERT, MUSTAFA (2011-10-28)
In this study, a multimedia database system which includes a semantic content extractor, a high-dimensional index structure and an intelligent fuzzy object-oriented database component is proposed. The proposed system is realized by following a component-oriented approach. It supports different flexible query capabilities for the requirements of video users, which is the main focus of this paper. The query performance of the system (including automatic semantic content extraction) is tested and analyzed in t...
Optimal streaming of rate adaptable video
Gürses, Eren; Akar, Gözde; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2006)
In this study, we study the dynamics of network adaptive video streaming and propose novel algorithms for rate distortion control in video streaming. While doing so, we maintain inter-protocol fairness with TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) that is the dominant transport protocol in the current Internet. The proposed algorithms are retransmission-based and necessitate the use of playback buffers in order to tolerate the extra latency introduced by retransmissions. In the first part, we propose a practical...
Optimal Resource Allocation of Dynamic Video Streaming Applications in a Public Cloud Environment
Aygun, Betul; ARICI, NURSAL; Coşar, Ahmet (2017-10-08)
With the technology improvements, managing a large amount of multimedia objects such as audio, video, picture or a combination of these has become possible. Multimedia data needs more real time storage and high data transfer than traditional textual and numeric data. In addition to these requirements, significant amount of computation is demanded for multimedia applications to serve many users at the same time. Due to these reasons, cloud computing is the emerging technology necessary for the multimedia inf...
Multimedia Information Retrieval Using Fuzzy Cluster-Based Model Learning
Sattari, Saeid; Yazıcı, Adnan (2017-07-12)
Multimedia data, particularly digital videos, which contain various modalities (visual, audio, and text) are complex and time consuming to model, process, and retrieve. Therefore, efficient methods are required for retrieval of such complex data. In this paper, we propose a multimodal query level fusion approach using a fuzzy cluster-based learning method to improve the retrieval performance of multimedia data. Experimental results on a real dataset demonstrate that employing fuzzy clustering achieves notab...
