Step 204: network node obtains the characteristic parameter of corresponding decoder according to the characteristic information of decoder.
Network node can obtain the characteristic parameter of corresponding decoder according to the characteristic information of decoder from parameter database.Operator can arrange parameter database in advance in network, parameter database is used for the corresponding relation of the characteristic parameter of the characteristic information of storage decoder and decoder.If comprised the characteristic parameter of all required decoders of network node in the characteristic information of decoder, network node also can directly obtain the characteristic parameter of decoder from the characteristic information of decoder.
Step 205: network node obtains the frame of video attribute information of video flowing to be assessed according to the video features information of video flowing to be assessed, and wherein, the frame of video attribute information comprises video frame type and the QP of each frame of video in the video flowing to be assessed at least.
Particularly, network node is according to the video features information of video flowing to be assessed, from obtaining video flowing to be assessed through the video flowing of self, the frame of video attribute information is analyzed and extracted to video flowing to be assessed, wherein, the frame of video attribute information of extraction comprises video frame type and the QP of each frame of video in the video flowing to be assessed at least.
Wherein, network node is resolved the application layer of the video flowing to be assessed of buffer memory, in application layer the frame of video attribute information is analyzed and extracted to the video flowing to be assessed of buffer memory.
Wherein, present embodiment is applied to the network architecture as shown in Figure 3, in this network architecture, video server sends video flowing to be assessed to terminal, and MQMC is that the network node that terminal is selected is the network node of the video stream path process between video server and the terminal, is the network node that terminal is selected so video server sends to the video flowing of terminal through MQMC.
Network node receives after video quality assessment that terminal sends arranges request message, the video features information of the video flowing to be assessed that request message carries can also be set according to this video quality assessment, determine whether to begin video flowing to be assessed is carried out video quality assessment, if, then finish parse operation, and according to the frame of video attribute information of having resolved video flowing to be assessed is carried out video quality assessment, if not, then continue to carry out the operation of the frame of video attribute information that obtains video flowing to be assessed.So when a plurality of terminals are carried out video quality assessment to the network node request to same video flowing simultaneously, can guarantee that network node carries out one parsing to this video flowing, avoid same video flowing is repeated repeatedly to resolve, save resource.
Wherein, network node is positioned at network side, the network environment of network side is better, when transmitting, video flowing can not damage or take place very little damage in network side, therefore to catch the video flowing of getting to be assessed identical or basic identical with the original video stream of video server transmission for network node, so it is more complete that network node obtains the frame of video attribute information that the frame of video attribute information of video flowing to be assessed obtains than terminal, thereby can improve the accuracy of video assessment.
Further, network node sends video quality assessment and response message is set to terminal.
Step 206: the corrupted information of the video flowing to be assessed that the network node receiving terminal sends;
Wherein, this corrupted information can comprise bag sequence number and the PCR(Program Clock Reference of the video packets of vacancy, program clock reference) information; Or this corrupted information can comprise packet loss.
Wherein, terminal receives video quality assessment response message is set, and obtains the corrupted information of video flowing to be assessed, and then sends the corrupted information of video flowing to be assessed.
Further, terminal can periodically send the corrupted information of video flowing to be assessed to network node.
Wherein, terminal was obtained the corrupted information of video flowing to be assessed earlier before the corrupted information that sends video flowing to be assessed; In the present embodiment, comprise that with corrupted information bag sequence number and the PCR information of the video packets of vacancy are that example describes.
Video flowing comprises frame of video, and each frame of video comprises one or more video packets, and the packet header of each video packets comprises the bag sequence number of video packets.In video flowing, distinguish each frame of video in the video flowing with the frame boundaries mark, and the frame boundaries mark is arranged in the packet header of first or last video packets of each frame of video.The bag sequence number of video server each video packets that each frame of video in the video flowing comprises when sending video flowing is continuous.In addition, video flowing also comprises TS PCR bag, in the packet header of TS PCR bag PCR information is arranged, and video server periodically sends TS PCR bag when sending video flowing.
Correspondingly, terminal obtain video flowing to be assessed corrupted information operation can for: terminal inner arranges a buffer queue in advance.Extract the bag that video flowing to be assessed comprises, this bag is judged, if this wraps the bag into TS PCR, then from TS PCR bag, extract PCR information; If wrapping, this is video packets, then extract the packet header of video packets, and the packet header of extracting is buffered in buffer queue successively, terminal reads the packet header of a frame from buffer queue according to the decoder decode time interval, and the bag sequence number in the packet header of the frame that reads analyzed, if the bag sequence number that analyzes in packet header of a frame that reads is discontinuous, then obtain the bag sequence number of vacancy, the bag sequence number of the vacancy of obtaining is the bag sequence number of the video packets of vacancy.
Step 207: network node carries out video quality assessment according to the corrupted information of video flowing to be assessed, the characteristic parameter of decoder, video frame type and the QP in the frame of video attribute information to video flowing to be assessed.
Network node is selected corresponding computation model according to the characteristic parameter of decoder, according to common video quality evaluation method video flowing to be assessed is carried out video quality assessment afterwards.
Wherein, in the present embodiment, comprise that with corrupted information the bag sequence number of vacancy video packets and PCR information are example, correspondingly, network node can carry out video quality assessment to video flowing to be assessed as follows, comprising:
