Quality and Usability

Quality

Goal

Measuring and modelling human perception to increase Quality of Experience (QoE).

    Approach:

    • Develop subjective test methods to quantify and improve quality
    • Develop instrumental methods and algorithms (traditional and Machine Learning based) for quality prediction
