The rapid growth of the next-generation communication and networks is bringing video
services into more pervasive environments. More and more users access and interact with …

Universal Multimedia Access (UMA) aims at enabling a straightforward consumption of
multimedia content in heterogeneous usage environments. These usage environments may …

During the last few years, different parametric models were proposed for video quality
estimation. Each model uses different parameters as inputs, such as bit rate, frame rate and …

Packet-layer models are designed to use only the information provided by packet headers
for real-time and non-intrusive quality monitoring of networked video services. This paper …

Underwater image compression is an important and essential part of an underwater image
transmission system. An assessment and prediction method of effectively compressed …

Network quality of service (NQoS) of IP networks is unpredictable and impacts the quality of
networked multimedia services. Adaptive voice and video schemes are therefore vital for the …

In this paper, a parametric model is proposed which provides estimation for the perceived
quality of video, coded with different codecs, at any bit rate and display format. The video …

Recently, user perception has been receiving increasingly much attention of service
providers, operators, manufactures and researchers. They are interested to know how the …

The H. 264/AVC standard introduces enhanced error robustness capabilities enabling
resilient and reliable transmission of compressed video signals over wireless lossy packet …

This paper presents a novel theoretical framework for end-to-end video quality prediction of
MPEG-based video sequences. The proposed framework encloses two discrete models:(i) A …
