Abstract
Currently, the efficient adaptive video streaming services and coding techniques are required to ensure quality of service (QoS) in diverse multimedia environments. To maintain optimal video quality in these environments, it is required to support scalable video coding (SVC) technique and proper QoS metric methods. In this paper, we propose a new quality metric that takes in to the temporal, the SNR, the spatial scalability on SVC. Experimental results shows that proposed method has a higher correlation with the subjective quality. We expect that the proposed metric plays an important role in deciding the coding parameter to optimize the quality of the SVC based video.
