IPTV Video Perception Quality Based on Packet Loss Distribution

Abstract

IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) provides interactive function, which greatly improves subjective experience of users. However, IP network is a best-effort network and does not guarantee a reliable connection, which makes video transmission based on IP network prone to problems. This paper focuses on the relationship between packet loss and video perception quality in IPTV transmission. Through subjective evaluation experiments, the influence of different packet loss rate and packet loss distributions (burst loss and random loss) are quantitatively studied. Experimental results show: When packet loss rate is the same, video with burst loss has a better quality than one with random loss. The proportion of burst loss in total packet loss increases, and subjective perception quality increases exponentially. Based on experimental results, this paper also designs an objective evaluation model of video quality based on packet loss rate and packet loss distribution.
