Speeding it Up: Perception of High-Frame Rate Videos

Abstract

Modern streaming video providers continuously seek to improve consumer experiences by delivering higher-quality, denser content. An important direction that bears study is high-frame rate (HFR) videos, which present unique problems involving balances between frame rate, video quality, and compression. I will describe new large-scale perceptual studies that we have conducted that are focused on these issues. I will also describe new computational video quality models that address highly practical questions, such as frame rate selection versus compression, and how to combine space-time sampling with compression. My hopes are that these contributions will help further advance the global delivery of HFR video content
