Evaluación de la QoE en un sistema de streaming adaptativo de vídeo 3D basado en DASH

Abstract

The distribution of multimedia content, and in particular video streaming, currently dominates global Internet traffic and will become even more important in the future. Thousands of titles are added monthly to major service providers such as Netflix, YouTube and Amazon. In addition to the consumption of high-definition content becoming the main trend, an increase in the consumption of 3D content can be observed again. This fact has caused that issues related to content production, encoding, transmission, Quality of Service (QoS) and Quality of Experience (QoE) perceived by users of 3D video distribution systems became a research topic with numerous contributions in recent years.This thesis addresses the problem of providing 3D video streaming services under variable bandwidth network conditions. In this sense, it presents the results of the evaluation of the QoE perceived by the users of 3D video systems, analyzing mainly the impact of the effects introduced in two of the elements of the 3D video processing chain: the encoding stage and the transmission process.
