Satellite Streaming Video QoE Prediction: A Real-World Subjective Database and Network-Level Prediction Models
- 创建包含179段真实卫星流媒体视频的主观评价数据库,覆盖多种播放中断模式。
- 提出SatQA模型,仅用网络参数即可预测用户感知质量,相关系数达0.92以上。
- 适合网络运营商优化卫星流媒体服务,无需视频像素或元数据信息。
卫星流媒体服务需求持续快速增长,运营商面临技术升级与用户期望提升的双重挑战。为保障视频质量、提升用户满意度,需建立准确的体验质量(QoE)预测模型。然而,现有模型受限于缺乏带有主观评分的真实干扰数据。为此,本文构建了首个真实世界卫星流媒体QoE数据库LIVE-Viasat,包含179段受真实播放中断影响的视频,由54名参与者提供连续时间评分与终点评分。分析揭示卡顿事件、分辨率、码率及网络参数对主观体验的影响。实验表明,主流模型在该数据集上表现受限。本文提出新模型SatQA,仅基于网络参数即可预测人类感知评分,评估指标包括SROCC、PLCC和RMSE,结果显示高相关性与低误差,证明其在无像素或视频元数据条件下仍具高精度与可靠性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Demand for streaming services, including satellite, continues to exhibit unprecedented growth. Internet Service Providers find themselves at the crossroads of technological advancements and rising customer expectations. To stay relevant and competitive, these ISPs must ensure their networks deliver optimal video streaming quality, a key determinant of user satisfaction. Towards this end, it is important to have accurate Quality of Experience prediction models in place. However, achieving robust performance by these models requires extensive data sets labeled by subjective opinion scores on videos impaired by diverse playback disruptions. To bridge this data gap, we introduce the LIVE-Viasat Real-World Satellite QoE Database. This database consists of 179 videos recorded from real-world streaming services affected by various authentic distortion patterns. We also conducted a comprehensive subjective study involving 54 participants, who contributed both continuous-time opinion scores and endpoint (retrospective) QoE scores. Our analysis sheds light on various determinants influencing subjective QoE, such as stall events, spatial resolutions, bitrate, and certain network parameters. We demonstrate the usefulness of this unique new resource by evaluating the efficacy of prevalent QoE-prediction models on it. We also created a new model that maps the network parameters to predicted human perception scores, which can be used by ISPs to optimize the video streaming quality of their networks. Our proposed model, which we call SatQA, is able to accurately predict QoE using only network parameters, without any access to pixel data or video-specific metadata, estimated by Spearman's Rank Order Correlation Coefficient (SROCC), Pearson Linear Correlation Coefficient (PLCC), and Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE), indicating high accuracy and reliability.
