Quality assessment of 360 video view sessions
Mar 9, 2018Shannon Chen

Summary
Introduced SSIM360 and 360QVM, new quality assessment standards for 360 video streaming. SSIM360 addresses the warping problem by weighting per-sample SSIM scores based on stretching in the equirectangular representation, making it computationally efficient and more accurate than conventional SSIM. 360QVM addresses the field-of-view problem by mapping view direction to pixel density and then to a scaling factor applied to the SSIM360 score, allowing for view-dependent optimizations and more accurate quality assessment of streaming sessions.
