An End-to-End QoE Measurement Framework For Immersive 3 D Media Delivery Systems

The ROMEO project focuses on the delivery of multiview 3-Dimensional (3D) video enriched with spatial audio on a converged network architecture. Quality of Experience (QoE) modeling plays an important role in several aspects of the overall ROMEO architecture, such as in video compression, multicast tree formation in the P2P overlay, content adaptation and view synthesis. To address various use cases there will be several models of QoE that will be investigated and developed within the scope of the ROMEO project. This paper describes the various models of QoE that will be investigated, specifically, QoE modeling of compression artifacts, rendering artifacts, and packet loss effects on 3D multiview video and QoE factors related to Audio compression and rendering. It is expected that the QoE models developed within the ROMEO project will find important use cases in a wide range of advanced multimedia applications.
