Abstract:
The rapidly growing Internet has come with an increasing heterogeneity and diversity in the network devices and connections used for information access. To guarantee the Quality of Service (QoS) to multimedia applications over heterogeneous networks and terminals, content adaptation is one of the most important technologies. The content adaptation can generally be classified into two different categories: 1) content scaling which controls the quality of the content according to the given constraints, 2) media format conversion which converts the given media format to a different one, such as video-to-image conversion. Although the content scaling approach can be employed to match the quality of the content to a worse condition of terminal and network resources, the resulting quality could be significantly deteriorated. In this case, media format conversion could be more preferable and better solution to guarantee the quality of the media service. In this paper, we specifically focus on converting video to image format. The effectiveness of the proposed media format conversion in terms of human perceptual aspect is verified through extensive simulations.
