Project VR-live

The project was sponsored by Huawei Technologies CO. Ltd.

Project duration: 15.11.2017 - 14.11.2018

Project description

In the research project in collaboration with Huawei company, the focus was to investigate the user perceived quality (Quality of Experience, QoE) in omnidirectional videos (videos that cover the whole room) in live streaming scenarios. The main goal of the project was to develop a quality estimation model for 360° video content. The input variables of such a model are video-related parameters such as resolution or bitrate, while the output of the model is the perceived quality scores on a scale between 1 and 5. Furthermore, the influence of possible transmission errors such as packet loss when using connectionless transport protocols (e.g. UDP) on the QoE perceived by the user was considered within the project.
