Abstract
SVC streaming studies are mostly constrained to
simulations, but prototypes also exist. However, for the latter,
modification to streaming servers are required to implement
extractors, with obvious modifications in the client side to
implement aggregators.
This paper contributes with a new proposal for a practical
and simple SVC streaming solution that can be used with of-
the-shelf AVC streaming servers and SVC clients, without
resorting to aggregators and extractors. The focus is on
modifications to the hint tool, creating a standard MP4
container for SVC.
A complete evaluation framework is also proposed, with
hardware on the loop, for performing objective and subjective
QoE tests, with the support of SVC.
With this framework, several scenarios have been tested,
by emulating network conditions. User subjective MOS results
have been obtained and then compared with objective PSNR
results converted to MOS. These tests demonstrate the
framework validity, opening perspectives for future work.
