Research and Projects
Modeling the Influence of Viewing Environment on Video Perception
University at Buffalo
Academic Research
2009-2012
– Analyze and formulate the influence of physical display size, ambient luminance and user movements
on mobile video perception based on psychophysical studies of human vision system.
– Integrate the context influence and content feature into a Just Noticeable Distortion model (MJND).
– Propose an image/video quality evaluation methodology based on mobile context with MJND.
– Build an Android video player that collects context information (related sensors) during playback;
Propose new subjective test method that collects rating and context data from real world users.
– The model accurately predicts MOS in busy context with PCC>0.9
Context Aware Video Adaptation for Mobile Devices
University at Buffalo
Academic Research
2010-present
– Compute visual importance of video signal under context influence by MJND model. When transrate
video bitstream to adapt wireless channel, avoid distortion (requantization) at important locations.
– Design and implement the H.264 transrater based on JM with accordantly developed rate control.
– With the same MJND quality, proposed transrater saves up to 30% bit rate.
– The work is being expanded to optimize resource allocation of multi-user video streaming.
Parametric QoE Model for HTTP Adaptive Streaming
University at Buffalo
Academic Research
2012
– Model QoE of HTTP video streaming as a cumulative process of instantaneous quality consisting of
image quality and playback smoothness; Temporal pooling based on forgetting curve memory model
– Light cost parametric QoE model derived from QP, rate & rebuffering/quality-switch event log;
Trained & evaluated by DASH subjective dataset; online prediction with PCC>0.7
DoSomething: A Social Game of Charade
