Analyses of selected variables effecting video streamed over IP

ABSTRACT

The goal of this study was to understand the impact of certain variables effecting the transmission of video over Internet Protocol (IP) networks, utilizing data from Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Picture Quality Rating (PQR) measurement metrics.
