System and method for determining an objective video quality measure of a real-time video communication without extensive mathematical operations

Abstract:

A new real-time video communication system includes a set of electronic devices. Each device runs a specialized real-time video communication software application including a video quality module. The video quality module retrieves network connection statistic data from a network connection module, and video encoder statistic data from a video quality module. The video quality module uses the network connection statistic data and the video encoder statistic data to determine a first objective video quality measure without extensive mathematical operations. The video quality module also uses the first objective video quality measure, the network connection statistic data and the video encoder statistic data to determine a second objective quality measure without extensive mathematical operations.
