GOAL OF THE COURSE
The course introduces the concepts of Quality of Experience (QoE) management approaches for multimedia 2D and 3D services. Assessing QoE has become essential for network and multimedia service providers to consider the quality perceived by the services’ users. Subjective and objective approaches are utilized to assess the user’s
perceived QoE. The results of QoE assessments are the basis for deriving QoE models, which can then be used to monitor the QoE of the provided services.
In this course, the student will learn how to conduct a 2D and 3D multimedia subjective quality assessment and derive an objective QoE model from the collected subjective data. Traditional and new emerging QoE modelling approaches based on human facial and speech behaviours will be explored. Finally, QoE monitoring and management techniques are discussed.
REQUIREMENTS
The student must have basic knowledge of statistics.
