摘要: We analyzed PSNR, BIPSNR, SSIM, 3SSIM, MSSSIM, VQM for various packet loss fractions.A lower bitrate mitigates PSNR impairments caused by losses.BIPSNR has less probability than to be significantly influenced losses.Among structural similarity metrics, SSIM is the least affected losses.VQM metric most losses. Video quality a key factor in modern video streaming systems. compression artifacts affect it but also delay, jitter and may compromise it. Objective metrics have been proposed emulate human visual system: several experimental works evaluated their adherence opinions expressed real users. Instead of dealing with subjective tests, we focused on effects network losses objective metrics: since are generally computationally intensive, convenient approach could consist inferring information about transmission from impairment statistics. did tests two computer-animated videos, whose high color contrasts allow fair comparison between content dependent independent metrics. studied encoding parameters that minimize/maximize values some (PSNR, BI-PSNR, VQM) percentages. Empirical Cumulative Density Function degradations
