Video QoE Measurement Algorithm by Parameter Matching for IPTV Services

QoE is defined as a quality perceived by users on a certain service. However, standard method to measure voice QoE(MOS) has been developed, but no standard method to measure video QoE has been defined. In this paper, we propose an efficient algorithm to measure video QoE s automatically for IPTV services. The proposed method selects candidate scenarios that affect the users` MOS directly, and derives weight factors for the selected scenarios. With the weight factors for the scenarios, video QoE value is calculated. For the validation of the proposed algorithm, we made degraded videos reflecting the parameters. With the degraded videos, by comparing the user perceived MOSs with the video QoEs derived by the proposed algorithm, we show that the two values are highly correlated each other.
