Estimating the term…
At least three uses of the technology disclosed are immediately recognized. First, a video stream classifier can be trained that has multiple uses. Second, a trained video stream classifier can be applied to monitor a live network. It can be extended by the network provider to customer relations management or to controlling video bandwidth. Third, a trained video stream classifier can be used to infer bit rate switching of codecs used by video sources and content providers. Bit rate switching and resulting video quality scores can be used to balance network loads and to balance quality of experience for users, across video sources. Balancing based on bit rate switching and resulting video quality scores also can be used when resolving network contention.
A non-transitory computer readable media impressed with program instructions that, when executed on hardware, cause the hardware to perform a method of monitoring video quality of delivered video streams on a live network, the method including:
A non-transitory computer readable media impressed with program instructions that, when executed on hardware, cause the hardware to perform a method of mapping video quality against available bandwidth for a video source over a live network, the method including:
