To develop efficient algorithms for compression and transmission of the volumetric media, it is important to understand how users will consume this new form of dynamic 3D content. In this paper, we analyse the user behaviour for the volumetric video consumption in AR. In particular, we study the distribution of users’ viewpoints, relative locations, and average distances from the content. For this purpose, we built an Android AR application using the volumetric video and conducted a user study remotely. The results show that users spent most of their time looking at the frontal part of the volumetric video, and this indicates the importance of the face in visual attention. The collected user behaviour data are made public to support further research.","PeriodicalId":160378,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX)","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132591423","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, assessment of haze level in such application scenario is important. For instance, in the advanced driver assistance system the accurate evaluation of haze level helps to properly release warning signals to drivers, which may avoid latent traffic accidents and save people’s lives. It is necessary to develop studies on haze video quality assessment for real outdoor scenes, and to build benchmark dataset for haze videos. To fill the gap of this benchmark lack, a real haze video database called RHVD was designed and constructed. The dataset contains 403 haze videos captured in real outdoor scenes, which were collected from the Flickr video sharing platform and post-edited in our lab. We conducted subjective quality assessment experiments on the RHVD dataset. Forty non-experts were recruited and asked to rate the haze levels for each of the video in the dataset. The original ratings were screened and normalized to calculate the final subjective scores. The RHVD dataset is free to download from the following website: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zY0LwJyNB8u1JTAJU2X7ZkiYXsBX7BF/view?usp=sharing, or https://pan.baidu.com/s/11p78zwMXmUHMGDj8WDanPA with password RHVD.","PeriodicalId":160378,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116881368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Image Super-Resolution Quality Assessment: Structural Fidelity Versus Statistical Naturalness 图像超分辨率质量评估:结构保真度与统计自然性

It is desirable to develop image quality assessment (IQA) methods that can not only evaluate and compare SISR algorithms, but also guide their future development. In this paper, we assess the quality of SISR generated images in a two-dimensional (2D) space of structural fidelity versus statistical naturalness. This allows us to observe the behaviors of different SISR algorithms as a tradeoff in the 2D space. Specifically, SISR methods are traditionally designed to achieve high structural fidelity but often sacrifice statistical naturalness, while recent generative adversarial network (GAN) based algorithms tend to create more natural-looking results but lose significantly on structural fidelity. Furthermore, such a 2D evaluation can be easily fused to a scalar quality prediction. Interestingly, we find that a simple linear combination of a straightforward local structural fidelity and a global statistical naturalness measures produce surprisingly accurate predictions of SISR image quality when tested using public subject-rated SISR image datasets. Code of the proposed SFSN model is publicly available at https://github.con/weizhou-geek/SFSN.","PeriodicalId":160378,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX)","volume":"57 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129025235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Usually, it is necessary to conduct multiple experiments, mostly with different test participants, to obtain enough data to train quality models based on machine learning. Each of these experiments is subject to an experiment-specific bias, where the rating of the same file may be substantially different in two experiments (e.g. depending on the overall quality distribution). These different ratings for the same distortion levels confuse neural networks during training and lead to lower performance. To overcome this problem, we propose a bias-aware loss function that estimates each dataset's biases during training with a linear function and considers it while optimising the network weights. We prove the efficiency of the proposed method by training and validating quality prediction models on synthetic and subjective image and speech quality datasets.","PeriodicalId":160378,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX)","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116036988","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The most common test method for speech QoE is the Absolute Category Rating (ACR), in which participants listen to a set of stimuli, processed by the underlying test conditions, and rate their perceived quality for each stimulus on a specific scale. The Comparison Category Rating (CCR) is another standard approach in which participants listen to both reference and processed stimuli and rate their quality compared to the other one. The CCR method is particularly suitable for systems that improve the quality of input speech. This paper evaluates an adaptation of the CCR test procedure for assessing speech quality in the crowdsourcing set-up. The CCR method was introduced in the ITU-T Rec. P.800 for laboratory-based experiments. We adapted the test for the crowdsourcing approach following the guidelines from ITU-T Rec. P.800 and P.808. We show that the results of the CCR procedure via crowdsourcing are highly reproducible. We also compared the CCR test results with widely used ACR test procedures obtained in the laboratory and crowdsourcing. Our results show that the CCR procedure in crowdsourcing is a reliable and valid test method.","PeriodicalId":160378,"journal":{"name":"2021 13th International Conference on Quality of Multimedia Experience (QoMEX)","volume":"31 10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130572585","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
