Abstract

Accurate measurement of the perceived quality of audio-visual services at the end-user is becoming a crucial issue in digital applications due to the growing demand for compression and transmission of audio-visual services over communication networks. Content providers strive to offer the best quality of experience for customers linked to their different quality of service (QoS) solutions. Therefore, developing accurate, perceptual-based quality metrics is a key requirement in multimedia services. In this paper, we survey state-of-the-art signal-driven perceptual audio and video quality assessment methods independently, and investigate relevant issues in developing joint audio-visual quality metrics. Experiments with respect to subjective quality results have been conducted for analyzing and comparing the performance of the quality metrics. We consider emerging trends in audio-visual quality assessment, and propose feasible solutions for future work in perceptual-based audio-visual quality metrics.
