Quality of perception: user quality of service in multimedia presentations

We define quality of perception (QoP) as representing the user side of the more technical and traditional quality of service. QoP encompasses not only a user's satisfaction with the quality of multimedia presentations, but also his/her ability to analyze, synthesise and assimilate the informational content of multimedia displays. We found that significant reductions in frame rate and color depth does not result in a significant QoP degradation.
