ABSTRACT:

Quality of Experience is known to be influenced by the usage environment, which affect expectations but also might distract a user. In this talk two usage environments are compared – one presenting a standardized and thus non-distracting laboratory environment and one presenting a very noisy and turbulent environment. In addition, it is tested if the turbulent environment can be simulated in a laboratory setting by presenting background noise.

In those three environments a video quality assessment experiment was conducted to assess the impact of the environment on perceived quality. It could be shown that the environment alone does not show an effect on the judgment.
