Abstract: Candidate encodes of a source video are produced using a plurality of encoding configurations. Quality of experience (QoE) scores for each of the candidate encodes are computed. The QoE scores of the plurality of candidate encodes are compared to determine a lowest bitrate encode that achieve a target QoE score. The lowest bitrate encode that achieve the target QoE score as an optimized output video is selected.

Abstract: Real-time latency of audio/video streams is identified. Signatures of a reference audio/video stream and signatures of a test audio/video stream are buffered. A needle is constructed as a vector including a set of signatures of the reference audio/video stream. Correlations of the needle to successive vectors of sets of signatures of the test audio/video stream are computed using a correlation function that calculates relatedness of the needle vector to each of the successive vectors of the test audio/video stream. A synchronization offset is identified between the test stream and the reference stream according to a maximum correlation point of the correlations of the needle to the successive sets of signatures of the test audio/video stream. The reference audio/video stream and the test audio/video stream are aligned according to the synchronization offset.

Abstract: Correlated quality-of-experience (QoE) and latency measures are generated at a plurality of monitoring points along a multimedia delivery chain including multiple video operations. At each of the plurality of monitoring points, an absolute QoE measure defined on a human perceptual quality scale for media content is computed, and one or more of content extraction or feature extraction on the media content are performed. To a common middleware from each of the plurality of monitoring points, the respective QoE measure and results of the one or more of content extraction or feature extraction are transmitted. Computing and updating an absolute QoE measure for each of the plurality of monitoring points is performed. Computing and updating latencies between multiple monitoring points at the middleware using the results from each of the plurality of monitoring points is also performed.
