Elsevier Visual Communication and Representation Journal
Special Issue on QoE in 2D/3D Video Systems
--------------------------------------------------------
Statement of purpose of this special issue
It is now widely acknowledged that the adoption of new
multi-modal media
necessitates mechanisms in order to assess and evaluate perceived
multimedia quality. The problem of understanding and enhancing
Quality of Experience (QoE) in complex, distributed and diverse
environments has been and is continuing to be the subject of intense
research investigation. Considerable efforts have been devoted to
assessing QoE via objective or subjective means for new and emerging
multimedia services (e.g. immersive multimedia,
multimodal applications) over modern fixed/mobile devices (e.g.
IPTV/HDTV/UHD/3DTV, video call, 3D smartphone, etc). However,
controlling the QoE of these applications is difficult not only
because of their high data rate. The combination of multiple media in
a single application (multimodality) and the need to keep multiple
media in synch across multiple parties means
that the problem of capturing and controlling QoE becomes
multi-dimensional and cannot be addressed through existing methods.
Open questions that will be addressed include for instance:
* How can we equalize the QoE perceived by different users in
multimodal, immersive and
multiparty applications?
* How will it be possible to engineer a closed-loop, QoE management
framework where the
QoS-to-QoE mapping models are sufficiently accurate and stable?
* How should data, media, network, control and application planes be
orchestrated to
maximize QoE / minimize resource consumption?
* How can 2D (SVC, HEVC etc) and 3D Coding (MVC, MPEG Part C, etc) affect
QoE?
With reference to 2D/3D video, research topics of interest include but
are not limited to:
* QoE evaluation methodologies and metrics (subjective, objective,
online versus offline)
* QoE Modeling and QoE-QoS Mapping
* KPI and KQI for the QoE definition
* QoE Control, Monitoring and Management strategies
* Subjective evaluation methodology for 3D/multiview/free-view video,
graphics, and
augmented and mixed reality
* QoE Methodologies for 3D
* QoE for novel applications (immersive media, multimodal applications
etc)
* Standardization activities for QoE
* New databases and validation (especially for 3D signals)
Schedule:
* Manuscript submission: April 30, 2013
* Acceptance Notification: July 15, 2013
* Final Manuscript Due: August 30, 2013
* Publication: November 2013
