Fast Quality Assessment of Videos Transmitted over Lossy Networks

Analysing the ability of networking protocols to stream real-time video data over lossy networks, many researchers are faced to the problem of video quality estimation, for which the MSE and PSNR metrics are widely used. However, many existing tools used to calculate these metrics do not take into account frame losses inevitable with video streaming over wireless networks. Other tools do account for frame losses but work too slowly. The paper proposes a novel method allowing to speed up greatly video quality metric computation.
