A New Parameterized Model for Determining Quality of Online Video Service Using Modern H.265/HEVC and VP9 Codecs

This paper describes a new measurement method (VS model) for determining the quality of online video services relying on modern H.265/HEVC and VP9 codecs. The said method has been developed on the basis of VQuad-HD curves (according to ITU-T J.341). This model does not refer to signal analysis, but protocol analysis instead. The parameters used are: type of video codec, encoding rate, transport technique, packet loss and burst size. The method may be implemented quickly and easily, which is one of the great advantages when using this method to measure QoS. Keywords—H.265/HEVC, IP network, ITU-T, J.341, native RTP, QoS measurement techniques, video service, VP9.
