Abstract

In recent years, HTTP video streaming has become a dominant technology for multimedia content consumption. Frame freezing occurring in the video stream is considered one of the key factors affecting the perceptual visual quality at the client side. In this paper we provide an analysis of how frame freezing in 3D video streams is observed over time, addressing the question whether the user starts tolerating freezes or gets irritated by them. The amount of Temporal Information of the video sequences is taken into consideration, since significant differences between adjacent frames can increase the detectability of freezing.
