چکیده

Since the introduction of digital television, new services such as Video on Demand and IPTV have been widely deployed. These new enhanced video services are usually delivered via streaming technologies over IP-based networks to set-top boxes (STB). Unfortunately, such networks are commonly referred to as packet-based best-effort networks that cannot guarantee the correct delivery of the transmitted data. As such, network impairments like packet loss can cause severe visual degradations during video playback. Current existing methodologies for the subjective quality assessment of video sequences pose tight restrictions on viewing conditions and experiment duration. As a consequence, these methodologies cannot be used for the quality assessment of full length movies in real-life conditions. In this paper, a new methodology is proposed and used to evaluate the influence of packet loss and frame freezes on the perceived visual quality of full length movies.

Adaptive Spectral Separation Two Layer Coding with Error Concealment for Cell Loss Resilience

This paper addresses the issue of cell loss and its consequent effect on video quality in a packet video system, and examines possible compensative measures. In the system's enconder, adaptive spectral separation is used to develop a two-layer coding scheme comprising a high priority layer to carry essential video data and a low priority layer with data to enhance the video image. A two-step er...

Design and Practical Implementation of a New Markov Model Predictive Controller for Variable Communication Packet Loss in Network Control Systems

The current paper investigates the influence of packet losses in network control systems (NCS’s) using the model predictive control (MPC) strategy. The study focuses on two main network packet losses due to sensor to controller and controller to actuator along the communication paths. A new Markov-based method is employed to recursively estimate the probability of time delay in controller to ac...

Influence of Real Ground Motion Records in Performance Assessment of RC Buildings

Reinforced concrete frame buildings with Open Ground Story (OGS) are one of the most common building configurations in urban habitat. These configurations are known to be vulnerable to seismic excitations, primarily due to the sudden loss in strength in the ground story and differential stiffness distribution throughout the structure. The differential stiffness distribution is attributed primar...

VRED: An improvement over RED algorithm by using queue length growth velocity

Active Queue Management (AQM) plays an important role in the Internet congestion control. It tries to enhance congestion control, and to achieve tradeoff between bottleneck utilization and delay. Random Early Detection (RED) is the most popular active queue management algorithm that has been implemented in the in Internet routers and is trying to supply low delay and low packet loss. RED al...
