Quality-aware adaptive delivery of multi-view video
Advances in video coding and networking technologies have
paved the way for the Multi-View Video (MVV) streaming.
However, large amounts of data and dynamic network conditions
result in frequent network congestion, which may prevent
video packets from being delivered on time. As a consequence,
the 3D viewing experience may be degraded signifi-
cantly, unless quality-aware adaptation methods are deployed.
There is no research work to discuss the MVV adaptation of
decision strategy or provide a detailed analysis of a dynamic
network environment. This work addresses the mentioned issues
for MVV streaming over HTTP for emerging multi-view
displays. In this research work, the effect of various adaptations
of decision strategies are evaluated and, as a result, a
new quality-aware adaptation method is designed. The proposed
method is benefiting from layer based video coding in
such a way that high Quality of Experience (QoE) is maintained
in a cost-effective manner. The conducted experimental
results on MVV streaming using the proposed strategy are
showing that the perceptual 3D video quality, under adverse
network conditions, is enhanced significantly as a result of the
proposed quality-aware adaptation

Adaptive delivery of immersive 3D multi-view video over the Internet
The increase in Internet bandwidth and the developments in 3D video technology have paved the way for the delivery of 3D Multi-View Video (MVV) over the Internet. However, large amounts of data and dynamic network conditions result in frequent network congestion, which may prevent video packets from being delivered on time. As a consequence, the 3D video experience may well be degraded unless content-aware precautionary mechanisms and adaptation methods are deployed. In this work, a novel adaptive MVV streaming method is introduced which addresses the future generation 3D immersive MVV experiences with multi-view displays. When the user experiences network congestion, making it necessary to perform adaptation, the rate-distortion optimum set of views that are pre-determined by the server, are truncated from the delivered MVV streams. In order to maintain high Quality of Experience (QoE) service during the frequent network congestion, the proposed method involves the calculation of low-overhead additional metadata that is delivered to the client. The proposed adaptive 3D MVV streaming solution is tested using the MPEG Dynamic Adaptive Streaming over HTTP (MPEG-DASH) standard. Both extensive objective and subjective evaluations are presented, showing that the proposed method provides significant quality enhancement under the adverse network conditions
Random Linear Network Coding for 5G Mobile Video Delivery
An exponential increase in mobile video delivery will continue with the
demand for higher resolution, multi-view and large-scale multicast video
services. Novel fifth generation (5G) 3GPP New Radio (NR) standard will bring a
number of new opportunities for optimizing video delivery across both 5G core
and radio access networks. One of the promising approaches for video quality
adaptation, throughput enhancement and erasure protection is the use of
packet-level random linear network coding (RLNC). In this review paper, we
discuss the integration of RLNC into the 5G NR standard, building upon the
ideas and opportunities identified in 4G LTE. We explicitly identify and
discuss in detail novel 5G NR features that provide support for RLNC-based
video delivery in 5G, thus pointing out to the promising avenues for future
research.Comment: Invited paper for Special Issue "Network and Rateless Coding for

Objective assessment of region of interest-aware adaptive multimedia streaming quality
Adaptive multimedia streaming relies on controlled
adjustment of content bitrate and consequent video quality variation in order to meet the bandwidth constraints of the communication
link used for content delivery to the end-user. The values of the easy to measure network-related Quality of Service metrics have no direct relationship with the way moving images are
perceived by the human viewer. Consequently variations in the video stream bitrate are not clearly linked to similar variation in the user perceived quality. This is especially true if some human visual system-based adaptation techniques are employed. As research has shown, there are certain image regions in each frame of a video sequence on which the users are more interested than in the others. This paper presents the Region of Interest-based Adaptive Scheme (ROIAS) which adjusts differently the regions within each frame of the streamed multimedia content based on the user interest in them. ROIAS is presented and discussed in terms of the adjustment algorithms employed and their impact on the human perceived video quality. Comparisons with existing approaches, including a constant quality adaptation scheme across the whole frame area, are performed employing two objective metrics which estimate user perceived video quality
