Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to adjusting video quality and more specifically to adjusting how video is transmitted based on the degree of detected video degradation using network packet measurements.
- Video transmissions can be particularly sensitive to network problems such as lost packets, late packets, and out of order arrival of packets.
- a system configured according to this disclosure either directly transmits a video communication over a network or monitors a video transmission by some other entity, detects the video quality degradation of the video communication, selects an appropriate counter-measure based at least in part on the particular type of degradation encountered, and implements the appropriate counter-measure or instructs the other entity to implement the appropriate counter-measure.
- the counter-measures can be applied at a client side, a server side, and/or within the network infrastructure.
- measurements can be taken along the network just prior to and during video transmission. Examples of these measurements can include network packet loss and burst loss density. If multiple network paths are available, either completely or partially disjoint, each path can be evaluated separately in terms of its ability to deliver video traffic.
- a system configured according to this disclosure transmits video, and while transmitting measures and monitors the video quality in real-time. If degradation occurs, the system can respond by evaluating the network paths of existing video flows in terms of the video quality currently being delivered and switch to a better performing alternate path. The system can also accurately respond to the type and degree of the degradation by matching the type and degree of degradation to a table containing corresponding counter-measures. For example, if the video quality degradation does not warrant drastic action, the system references the table and sees that for this particular type or degree of degradation only minor changes need to be made. If the system detects multiple forms of degradation, the system can implement multiple concurrent counter-measures corresponding to each particular form of degradation, or alternatively, locates counter-measures for that particular combination of degradation. In this manner the system provides variable counter-measures for video degradation.
- the system can reduce the bitrate. If occasional or infrequent packet loss bursts are detected, the system can send one or more additional I-frames rather than reducing the video bitrate.
- the system can examine the video to insert the additional I-frames, such as by converting an existing delta frame (such as a B-frame, a P-frame, or other types of frames that rely on other frames to reconstruct the frame data) to an I-frame.

- a system, method and non-transitory computer-readable media are disclosed which measure and analyze the video transmission path, detect degradation during video transmissions, and respond with a measured response particular to the effects of the degradation on the video quality.
- a brief introductory description of a basic general purpose system or computing device in FIG. 1 which can be employed to practice the concepts is disclosed herein.

- an exemplary system 100 includes a general-purpose computing device 100 , including a processing unit (CPU or processor) 120 and a system bus 110 that couples various system components including the system memory 130 such as read only memory (ROM) 140 and random access memory (RAM) 150 to the processor 120 .
- the system 100 can include a cache 122 of high speed memory connected directly with, in close proximity to, or integrated as part of the processor 120 .
- the system 100 copies data from the memory 130 and/or the storage device 160 to the cache 122 for quick access by the processor 120 . In this way, the cache provides a performance boost that avoids processor 120 delays while waiting for data.

- the basic components are known to those of skill in the art and appropriate variations are contemplated depending on the type of device, such as whether the device 100 is a small, handheld computing device, a desktop computer, or a computer server.
- Non-transitory computer-readable storage media expressly exclude media such as energy, carrier signals, electromagnetic waves, and signals per se.
- an input device 190 represents any number of input mechanisms, such as a microphone for speech, a touch-sensitive screen for gesture or graphical input, keyboard, mouse, motion input, speech and so forth.
- An output device 170 can also be one or more of a number of output mechanisms known to those of skill in the art.
- multimodal systems enable a user to provide multiple types of input to communicate with the computing device 100 .
- the communications interface 180 generally governs and manages the user input and system output. There is no restriction on operating on any particular hardware arrangement and therefore the basic features here may easily be substituted for improved hardware or firmware arrangements as they are developed.
- the illustrative system embodiment is presented as including individual functional blocks including functional blocks labeled as a “processor” or processor 120 .
- the functions these blocks represent may be provided through the use of either shared or dedicated hardware, including, but not limited to, hardware capable of executing software and hardware, such as a processor 120 , that is purpose-built to operate as an equivalent to software executing on a general purpose processor.

- the system 100 shown in FIG. 1 can practice all or part of the recited methods, can be a part of the recited systems, and/or can operate according to instructions in the recited non-transitory computer-readable storage media.
- Such logical operations can be implemented as modules configured to control the processor 120 to perform particular functions according to the programming of the module. For example, FIG.
- Mod 1 162 , Mod 2 164 and Mod 3 166 which are modules configured to control the processor 120 . These modules may be stored on the storage device 160 and loaded into RAM 150 or memory 130 at runtime or may be stored as would be known in the art in other computer-readable memory locations.
- FIG. 2 illustrates an example feedback system 200 .
- the feedback system 200 demonstrates one way in which measurements can be made to determine levels of video quality degradation.
- a sender 202 transmits a video communication 204 to a receiver 206 .
- the receiver 206 or other source, such as the network or network-based feedback devices, then sends feedback 208 to the sender 202 , informing the sender of the video quality. If any degradation is occurring, the sender 202 can then respond. If the sender 202 receives feedback from multiple sources, the sender 202 can average the feedback data, prioritize types of data or sources, or use other data combination techniques to determine what affect the feedback data from the multiple sources has on video quality. Because certain types of video degradation require particular counter-measures, a singular response for all forms of degradation can be inadequate to remedy video quality.
- FIG. 3 illustrates an example system embodiment 300 .
- the system 304 receives network packet level measurements 302 .
- the system 304 uses the network packet level measurements 302 to accurately predict video quality. Based on these measurements 302 , the system can immediately or a short time thereafter implement corresponding counter-measures 306 if degradation is detected.
- time can be saved and counter-measures introduced in a more time-efficient manner.
- FIG. 4 illustrates an example of a variable response table for multiple forms of degradation 400 .
- Video degradation can be determined from network packet level measurements, processed or unprocessed video quality measurements, feedback from a receiver, and/or other forms of measurement.
- Video quality measurements intrinsically require quantitative and comparable values, which can be expressed as numbers, alphanumeric data, words, or other data conveyance formats.
- video quality measurements are initially received by a system, those measurements are unprocessed, or raw, and can be processed by a computing device to improve the utility of the measurements. For example, a system can receive a video quality measurement of “1001010”, which is then processed and forwarded as “normal”, referring to normal video quality.
- the various forms of video degradation 408 , 410 , 412 , 414 each correspond to a category 404 within the table 402 .
- Each category represents counter-measures employable by the system to correct detected video quality degradation.
- the first form of degradation illustrated, block artifacts 408 represents a noticeable distortion in the video signal and corresponds to category B of the table 402 .
- the second form of degradation, snow or static 410 corresponds to category A.
- the third degradation form, duplication 412 corresponds to category C
- the fourth degradation form shown, lack of audio 414 corresponds to category D.
- Other forms of degradation beyond those shown could appear in other embodiments, and in certain embodiments multiple forms of degradation can correspond to a single category of counter-measures.
- the various categories 404 each have specific counter-measures 406 depending on the degree, level, or form of degradation detected and can be sorted by codec type, effectiveness, computational or other cost, etc.
- the system 100 can detect degradation in the form of duplication 412 , which in the example table 402 corresponds to category C.
- category C Within category C are variable counter-measures C. 1 , C. 2 , and C. 3 .
- a category can include any number of variable counter-measures 406 .
- These variable counter-measures 406 can, for example, increase the bit-rate, reduce the bit-rate, change the codec type, change packet priority, increase or decrease compression, change the network path, or any other remedy to help improve video quality.
- Counter-measures can modify at least one video parameter, and can modify multiple video parameters.
- the system establishes these counter-measures for specific levels of detected degradation, and if the detected degradation changes, the specific level of counter-measure can change.
- the system relies on a previously established table of counter-measures and levels and types of degradation.
- the system can end the use of counter-measures. In this manner the system continues to receive measurements concerning the video quality and implement counter-measures 406 specific to the degree and category of degradation detected.
- FIG. 5 For the sake of clarity, the method is discussed in terms of an exemplary system 100 as shown in FIG. 1 configured to practice the method.
- the steps outlined herein are exemplary and can be implemented in any combination thereof, including combinations that exclude, add, or modify certain steps.
- a system 100 configured in a manner complying with this disclosure transmits a video communication over a video communication path through a network ( 502 ).
- the video communication can be a conference call, a person-to-person video chat, or other video with low-motion levels encoded as a MPEG-4, Quicktime®, Flash®, or other video format.
- the system 100 detects the video quality degradation of the video communication ( 504 ) or receives measurements relating to video degradation. This can be accomplished either through feedback from a receiver, by measurements taken by the sender, or by any other entity associated with the video transmission.
- the system 100 selects a counter-measure from a table of counter-measures based at least in part on a category of the video quality degradation, wherein each counter-measure in the table of counter-measures comprises at least one modified video parameter associated with a specific category of video quality degradation ( 506 ). The system then implements the selected counter-measure in response to the video degradation ( 508 ).
- a system 100 configured according to this disclosure can establish baseline values of expected video quality. In certain embodiments, this occurs prior to transmission of the video, whereas in other embodiments the system 100 establishes baselines after video transmission has already begun. To establish baseline values, the system 100 first determines possible paths for the transmission to take. If a single data path exists, this path can then be evaluated in terms such as bandwidth, round-trip communication time, packet loss, degradation, delay, and burst loss density. If multiple paths exist, each individual path can be evaluated by similar measurements. The system 100 can make other measurements as necessary to determine expected effectiveness at transmitting video over a particular path or channel. Such measurements can include network packet level measurements and respective capacities for the one or more paths.
- the baselines can be dependent upon the particular video being transmitted or about to be transmitted. For example, a standard definition video would have different baseline levels of degradation than a high definition video.
- the system 100 can, using the encoding, quality, and other quantifiable data from the video, establish these baselines for a particular video. The system 100 then uses these baselines to create a response table or chart with specific actions for specific levels and types of degradation.
- the response table can have different categories of counter-measures for different categories of degradation such as jitter, duplication, delay, and loss of audio.
- Each of the categories within the response table can have multiple counter-measures for the specific degree of degradation detected.
- the response table could have multiple counter-measures to degradation stemming from inter-frame compression: a low-level response could decrease the bitrate, a mid-level response could send an I-frame, and a high-level response could change the transmission path to an alternate path if an alternate path is available.
- the system can select an alternate path at random or can select a specific alternate path that is likely to address the cause of the video degradation.
- the system 100 can respond, using the response table, to the detection of multiple types of degradation in several ways.
- the system 100 creates a separate category of counter-measures for instances of detection of when multiple forms of degradation.
- the system 100 can combine the counter-measures from multiple categories to respond to the multiple forms of degradation. For example, if the response table created by the system 100 does not have a pre-formed response to a specific instance of degradation involving both duplication and jitter, the system can combine the individual counter-measures of both the duplication and jitter to form a mixed response.
- the system 100 can implement a counter-measure associated with that specific category. To detect degradation, the system 100 can continue to make measurements during video transmission.
- the receiving system of the video transmission can independently send feedback to the transmitting system.
- the transmitting system can request feedback alongside the video transmission.
- measurements can occur without direct feedback from the receiver by evaluating total network traffic, capacity, packet loss from similar receivers, and other independent means. The system 100 continues to take the measurements throughout the video transmission, and from those measurements derives degradation of video quality in real time.
- Implementation of the counter-measure can occur instantly, or after a designated delay period before implementation. For example, if the system 100 is already implementing various counter-measures and detects a new form of degradation, rather than immediately implementing a new counter-measure the system 100 can wait for verification of the degradation before modifying the current counter-measures. Similarly, if the system 100 monitors multiple streams and detects various forms of degradation, prior to implementing any single counter-measure the system 100 can prioritize the forms of degradation detected, followed by implementing the corrective counter-measures by priority.
- FIG. 6 illustrates a second example method embodiment.
- the method is discussed in terms of an exemplary system 100 as shown in FIG. 1 configured to practice the method.
- the steps outlined herein are exemplary and can be implemented in any combination thereof, including combinations that exclude, add, or modify certain steps.
- the system 100 based on at least one of video path measurements and desired video quality, establishes baseline video quality values ( 602 ). For example, if the video is high definition, baseline degradation values will differ from video degradation values of a standard definition video. Likewise, if the video path from a sender to a receiver has high packet loss as an innate characteristic, baseline degradation values must account for this poor path quality.
- the system 100 then creates a matrix with types of video degradation corresponding to counter-measures for the types of video degradation, based at least in part on the baseline video quality values. This matrix, or response table, can then be used by the system 100 in providing counter-measures for detected degradation, or used by other computer devices to determine appropriate counter-measures to video degradation.
- FIG. 7 illustrates a second example method embodiment.
- the system 100 receives an existing matrix containing, at least in part, types of video quality degradation corresponding to counter-measures ( 702 ).
- the system 100 modifies the existing matrix based at least in part on a network type, network attributes, video attributes, desired video quality, and the types of video quality degradation ( 704 ).
- the system 100 can then use the modified matrix to determine counter-measures to video quality degradation.
- the system 100 can transmit the modified matrix to another computing device, which in turn can use the modified matrix, or table, to implement counter-measures to video degradation.
- Embodiments within the scope of the present disclosure may also include tangible and/or non-transitory computer-readable storage media for carrying or having computer-executable instructions or data structures stored thereon.
- Such non-transitory computer-readable storage media can be any available media that can be accessed by a general purpose or special purpose computer, including the functional design of any special purpose processor as discussed above.
- non-transitory computer-readable media can include RAM, ROM, EEPROM, CD-ROM or other optical disk storage, magnetic disk storage or other magnetic storage devices, or any other medium which can be used to carry or store desired program code means in the form of computer-executable instructions, data structures, or processor chip design.
- Computer-executable instructions include, for example, instructions and data which cause a general purpose computer, special purpose computer, or special purpose processing device to perform a certain function or group of functions.
- Computer-executable instructions also include program modules that are executed by computers in stand-alone or network environments.
- program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, objects, and the functions inherent in the design of special-purpose processors, etc. that perform particular tasks or implement particular abstract data types.
- Computer-executable instructions, associated data structures, and program modules represent examples of the program code means for executing steps of the methods disclosed herein. The particular sequence of such executable instructions or associated data structures represents examples of corresponding acts for implementing the functions described in such steps.
- Embodiments of the disclosure may be practiced in network computing environments with many types of computer system configurations, including personal computers, hand-held devices, multi-processor systems, microprocessor-based or programmable consumer electronics, network PCs, minicomputers, mainframe computers, and the like. Embodiments may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by local and remote processing devices that are linked (either by hardwired links, wireless links, or by a combination thereof) through a communications network. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
