Performance Evaluation of 3D Stereo Video Streaming over IP Networks

Abstract

This paper presents the performance evaluation results of 3D Video Streaming using a H.264/MVC experimental platform. Particular attention has been given to the evaluation of different video bit stream RTP packetization modes, namely Single NAL Unit, Aggregation Packet and Fragmentation Units, by measuring overhead, number of decoded frames and perceived PSNR for both base and non base view under different network conditions. Extensive test bed experiments indicate that the non-base view is more sensitive to packet loss, due to its coding dependency from the base view.
