Perceptually Equivalent Resolution in Handheld Devices for Streaming Bandwidth Saving

Abstract

We present the description, results, and analysis of the experiments conducted to find the equivalent resolution associated with handheld devices. That is, the resolution from which users stop perceiving quality improvements if better resolutions are presented to them in such devices. Thus, it is the maximum resolution that it is worth considering for generating and delivering video, as long as sequences are not too intensively compressed. Therefore, the detection of the equivalent resolutions allows for notable savings in bandwidth consumption. Subjective assessments have been carried out on fifty subjects using a set of video sequences of very different nature and four handheld devices with a broad range of screen dimensions. The results prove that the equivalent resolution in current handheld devices is 720p as higher resolutions are not valued by users.

Retinal Noise Emulation: A Novel Artistic Tool for Cinema That Also Improves Compression Efficiency

“…As mentioned before, the aspect ratios of the HRCs, and therefore of the PVS's, were 16:9 (∼1.78:1), following the SMPTE ST 2036-1 standard [37] and Recommendation ITU-R BT.2020 [38]. As the aspect ratio of the SRCs is 256:135 (∼1.9:1), according to the Digital Cinema System Specification of the Digital Cinema Initiatives (DCI) [39], the PVS's resolutions required a minor cinema-to-broadcast format adaptation that was conducted using a bicubic filter [40].…”

Avaliação de Desempenho de Transmissões de Vídeo 2K e 4K sobre Redes Sem Fio em um Cenário Indoor

“…Dessa forma, é importante apresentar que os vídeos atuais contêm muita informação pelo fato de se apresentarem em alta resolução. E assim, a elevação do serviço de streaming de vídeo, com demandas por altas taxas de transferências são necessárias pelo fato da chegada recente no mercado de dispositivos e equipamentos que operam com este tipo de fluxos de alta e ultra-alta resolução [CÁMARA et al 2019].…”
