Bitstream-based quality assessment for networked video: a review

Bitstream-based methods are intuitively suited for quality assessment of networked video services, and are currently under intense investigations in terms of research and standardization activities. This article examines the factors that may affect the quality of the networked video, and reviews the state-of-the-art techniques as well as standardization progress in bitstream-based video quality assessment. According to different levels of access to the bitstream, three types of models are described and compared: the parametric, packet layer, and bitstream-layer models.
