The increasing demand for streaming video raises the need for flexible and easily implemented Video Quality Assessment (VQA) metrics. Although there are different VQA metrics, most of these are either Full-Reference (FR) or Reduced-Reference (RR). Both FR and RR metrics bring challenges for on-the-fly multimedia systems due to the necessity of additional network traffic for reference data. No-eference (NR) video metrics, on the other hand, as the name suggests, are much more flexible for user-end applications. This introduces a need for robust and efficient NR VQA metrics. In this paper, an NR VQA metric considering spatiotemporal information, bit rate, and packet loss rate characteristics of a video content is proposed. The proposed metric is evaluated on EPFL-PoliMI dataset, which includes different video content characteristics. The experimental results show that the proposed metric is a robust and accurate NR VQA metric towards diverse video content characteristics.

A SPATIOTEMPORAL NO-REFERENCE VIDEO QUALITY ASSESSMENT MODEL

Many researchers have been developing objective video quality assessment methods due to increasing demand for perceived video quality measurement results by end users to speed-up advancements of multimedia services. However, most of these methods are either Full-Reference (FR) metrics, which require the original video or Reduced-Reference (RR) metrics, which need some features extracted from the original video. No-Reference (NR) metrics, on the other hand, do not require any information about the original v...
ENHANCED SPATIO-TEMPORAL VIDEO COPY DETECTION BY COMBINING TRAJECTORY AND SPATIAL CONSISTENCY
Ozkan, Savas; Esen, Ersin; Akar, Gözde (2014-10-30)
The recent improvements on internet technologies and video coding techniques cause an increase in copyright infringements especially for video. Frequently, image-based approaches appear as an essential solution due to the fact that joint usage of quantization-based indexing and weak geometric consistency stages give a capability to compare duplicate videos quickly. However, exploiting purely spatial content ignores the temporal variation of video. In this work, we propose a system that combines the state-of...
A Comparative Study on No-Reference Video Quality Assessment Metrics
Zerman, Emin; Akar, Gözde; Konuk, Baris; NUR YILMAZ, GÖKÇE (2014-04-25)
In the last two decades the Internet technology has boosted and the connection speeds have been incrased from kilobits to hundred megabits scale. With the rising coverage of the Internet and the usage of mobile devices such as tablets and smart phones, the usage of social media and especially multimedia elements has been increased rapidly. This increment in streaming multimedia created a need for the assessment of the user experience on multimedia and especially video. Even though there are different Video ...
An intervention framework for developing interactive video lectures based on video clickstream behavior: a quasi-experimental evaluation
Yürüm, Ozan Raşit; Yıldırım, İbrahim Soner; Taşkaya Temizel, Tuğba (2022-02-01)
The purpose of this study is to develop an intervention framework based on video clickstream interactions for delivering superior user experience for video lectures. Apart from existing studies on data-driven interventions, this study focuses on video clickstream interactions to identify timely interventions for creating interactive video lectures. First, a framework was developed through an exploratory experiment, in which 29 students' clickstream behaviors were tracked on an online platform and then indiv...
A complexity-utility framework for optimizing quality of experience for visual content in mobile devices
Önür, Özgür Deniz; Alatan, Abdullah Aydın; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
Subjective video quality and video decoding complexity are jointly optimized in order to determine the video encoding parameters that will result in the best Quality of Experience (QoE) for an end user watching a video clip on a mobile device. Subjective video quality is estimated by an objective criteria, video quality metric (VQM), and a method for predicting the video quality of a test sequence from the available training sequences with similar content characteristics is presented. Standardized spatial i...
