Abstract

Parametric models of video quality are designed for service and network planning as well as video quality monitoring. They are widely applied in a broad range of applications especially when video streams are encrypted or even unavailable at all. Designing metrics in these models remains challenge due to limited available information. In this paper, a spatio-temporal resolution-adaptive parametric (STRAP) model is proposed to evaluate the quality of video streaming services considering the spatial and temporal resolutions. This work serves as a follow-up study for ITU Rec. P.1203.1 that we were previously involved. The relationship between the content complexity and the spatial and temporal resolutions are analyzed and incorporated into the proposed model. Moreover, the effect of video up/down-scaling in display devices on the perceived video quality is further taken into consideration. Experimental results showed that the proposed model can be used as a reliable indicator for video streaming providers to improve their services performance.
