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)
