The method further includes measuring levels of objective quality, indicative of perceptual quality, of the first and second encoded sections. The method includes determining, based on the measured objective quality levels, replaceable sections among the first encoded sections, and replacement sections among the second encoded sections, each of the replacement sections to replace a corresponding one of the replaceable sections. the method includes streaming the first encoded sections except for the replaceable sections, and the replacement sections instead of their corresponding replaceable sections.

Distribution of multimedia (also referred to herein as “media” and/or “program(s)”), such as movies and the like, from network services to a client device may be achieved through adaptive bitrate streaming of the media. Typically, the media may be encoded at different bitrates and resolutions into multiple bitrate streams that are stored in the network services. Conventional adaptive bitrate streaming of media includes determining streaming conditions, e.g., an available streaming bandwidth at the client device, and then streaming a selected one of the different bitrate stream from the network services to the client device based on the determined conditions.
From the perspective of the network service, streaming media includes transmitting the media in response to requests from the client device. From the perspective of the client device, streaming media includes continuously requesting and receiving the media from the network services, and storing the received media in a buffer for subsequent presentation or playback, essentially, in near real-time. The buffered media may be presented, i.e., played back, in audio-visual form, for example.
The human visual system perceives a perceptual or subjective quality of streamed, presented media, and is able to detect small changes in the perceptual quality. The perceptual quality generally increases and decreases as the encoded bitrate of the streamed program (i.e., “streaming bitrate”) increases and decreases. Therefore, more or less available streaming bandwidth may translate to more or less perceptual quality, respectively.
Given the ever pressing need to conserve bandwidth at the client device, conventional streaming techniques tend to select a streaming bitrate deemed to be sufficiently high to meet an acceptable level of perceptual quality, based on the streaming bandwidth conditions determined at the client device, as mentioned above. This bandwidth-centric determination and selection at the client device dies not take into consideration changes or variations in the content contained in the media itself over time as the media is streamed and, therefore, often results in unnecessarily high, and therefore, bandwidth-wasteful, streaming bitrates.

DETAILED DESCRIPTIONEmbodiments described herein are directed to adaptive streaming of a video program from network services to a client device that utilize encoded video section swapping to reduce streaming bandwidth, which minimally impacting a perceptual/presentation quality of the streamed program at the client device. The adaptive streaming with sections swapping embodiments reduce streaming bandwidth at client the device based on characteristics or properties of content in the video program, i.e., measures of objective quality indicative of perceptual quality, that changes over time while the program is being streamed. More specifically, the embodiments determine swappable, corresponding/co-located sections of video encoded at different bitrates based on the measured objective quality levels of the co-located sections and the predetermined criterion of objective quality. The swappable, co-located sections include a section encoded at a first bitrate and a section encoded at a second bitrate that is less than the first bitrate. During streaming of the video program, the section encoded at the first bitrate is replaced with the co-located section encoded at the lesser second bitrate, thereby conserving streaming bandwidth by a substantial amount approximately equally to a difference between the first and second bitrates.
Network Environment
Client device 104 may be capable of wireless and/or wired communication with networks 106. Client device 104 includes processing, storage, communication, and user interface capabilities sufficient to provide all of the client device functionality described herein. Such functionality may be provided, at least in part, by one or more applications, such as computer programs, that execute on client device 104. Applications executed on client device 104 may include client-side application, which presents Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) through which a user of the client device may interact with and request services from corresponding server-side applications hosted in services 102. Accordingly, under user control, client device 104 may request/select programs from services 102, stream the selected programs from the services, and then present the streamed programs, in other words, playback the streamed programs.
Network services 102 include, but are not limited to, one or more media provider(s) 112 to originate source programs, and one or more media distributor(s) 114 to encode, store, and distribute the programs to client device 104. Each of the services 102 may be implemented as one or more computer servers that execute one or more associated server-side computer program applications suited to the given service. Media providers 112, such as Netflix®, HBO®, cable networks, and so on, utilize network services 102 to manage and deliver their revenue bearing programs to client device 104. Media providers 112 download their source programs to distributor 114, which encodes, stores, and then streams the encoded programs to client device 104 when requested to do so.
Distributor 114 includes an encoded 122 and a stream manager 126. Encoded 122 may encode each program into a number of alternative streams to support adaptive bitrate streaming of the program. The alternative streams encode the same program in different ways, such as at one or more of different bitrates, one or more different resolutions, and/or one of more different frame rats. As will be described more fully below in connection with
Distributor 114 may also store auxiliary streams which contain information associated with the program streams mentioned above. The auxiliary streams are encoded at low bitrates, e.g., at bitrates of 200 kbps or much less. The auxiliary streams may include metadata synchronized in time with and descriptive of the content in associated main program streams. The metadata may include cues indicating or bracketing, e.g., commercial segments, or other non-program segments/content, such as level-drop information for encoded section swapping as will be described below, interspersed throughout the program streams. Typically, such auxiliary streams would be streamed simultaneously with their associated program streams and handled appropriately at the client device. However, the auxiliary streams may be streamed before the program streams.
As discussed above, client-side GUIs provide a user with access to services and program offerings. Such client-side GUIs typically include easily navigable program guides, and may present programs and channel selection options, program descriptions, advertisements, programming/user control options, and other typical programming features, as would be appreciated by those of ordinary skill in the relevant arts. The client-side GUIs accept user selections/requests, such as a request to view a program. In response to such GUI selections/requests, the client-side application sends appropriate requests to a counterpart server-side application residing in distributor 114, to initiate the appropriate actions among services 102 that will satisfy the client selections/requests, e.g., enable a client device to stream the selected program from the distributor for presentation to the user.
Container Files—Streaming Sources
As described above, distributor 114 encodes source programs from providers 112. To support adaptive bitrate streaming, distributor 122 may encode the source programs at multiple bitrates to produce multiple streams for each source program, as will be described more fully below in connection with
Program stream index 204 includes pointers 210(1)-(4), e.g., Uniform Resource Locators (URLs), to corresponding container files 208(1)-(4), and lists encoding parameters used to encode each of the streams 1-4, including, but not limited to, encoded bitrates Rate 1-Rate 4, encoding resolutions Res 1-Res 4, frame rates, and encoding techniques/standards. Exemplary, non-limiting, bitrates may range from below 125 kilo-bits-per-second (kbps) up to 15,000 kbps, or even higher, depending on the type of encoded media.
Each of container files 208 comprises sequential clusters 212 of a larger media sector (not shown in
Each cluster/block 212/214 in a given one of the container files 208 encodes the same content (e.g., video content) as corresponding clusters in the other ones of the container files. For example, the cluster/block indicated at A in container file 208(1) has encoded therein the same video as that encoded in the clusters/blocks indicated at B, C, and D of container files 208(2), 208(3), and 208(4), respectively. Corresponding clusters/blocks are also referred to herein as “co-located” clusters/blocks because they encode the same video and share the same time code TC, i.e., they are aligned or coincide in time.
Container files may encode a single stream, such as a video stream (as depicted in
In addition, a container file may encode only a metadata stream at a relatively low bitrate.
The encoded container files depicted in
In embodiments: the container files may be Matroska containers based on Extensible Binary Meta Language (EBML), which is a derivative of Extensible Binary Meta Language (XML), or files encoded in accordance with the Moving Picture Experts Group (MPEG) standard; the program index may be provided in a Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) format; and client device 104 may implement adaptive streaming from distributor 114 over networks 106 using the HTTP protocol.
The container files described above may support adaptive streaming of encoded video programs across an available spectrum bandwidth that is divided into multiple, i.e., n, levels. Video having a predetermined video resolution for each level may be encoded at a bitrate corresponding to the band-width associated with the given level. For example, in DivX® Plus Streaming, by Royi Corporation, the starting bandwidth is 125 kbps and the ending bandwidth is 8400 kbps, and the number n of bandwidth levels is eleven (11). Each bandwidth level encodes a corresponding video stream, where the maximum encoded bitrate of the video stream (according to a hypothetical reference decoder model of the video coding standard H.264) is set equal to the bandwidth/bitrate of the given level. In DivX® Plus Streaming, the 11 levels are encoded according to 4 different video resolution levels, in the following way: mobile (2 levels). standard definition (4 levels), 720p (2 levels), and 1080p (3 levels).
Section Swapping: Objective Quality vs. Perceptual Quality
Adaptive streaming embodiments described herein take into consideration certain characteristics in the content in video programs (also referred to herein simply as “video”) to be streamed, to reduce streaming bitrates. as will now be described. The human visual system is able to detect small changes in the perceptual or presentation quality of presented video. However, perceptual quality and changes in perceptual quality are difficult to measure directly. Instead, certain characteristics or properties of encoded video, that are indicative of perceptual quality video as actually presented (i.e., once the encoded video is decoded and presented), may be determined, e.g., measured directly, in a straight forward manner. Such measured properties represent an objective quality of the video. As the content of encoded video varies across successive sections of the encoded Video, and between co-located sections of encoded video in different video streams, the objective quality correspondingly varies, and may be measured to determine a level of objective quality corresponding to each of the aforementioned sections. The term “section” as used herein refers to a number of successive frames of video, including, but not limited to, multimedia audio-visual content, which may be collected into successive blocks and clusters in container files for streaming, as described above.
The difference in objective quality levels between co-located sections of encoded video (e.g., between co-located clusters from two container files that encode the same video but at different bitrates) may be used to determine a corresponding difference in the perceptual quality of the two video sections. Specifically, the difference in objective quality levels may be used to determine whether that difference is sufficiently large as to cause a visually noticeable difference in the perceptual quality of the two sections (once decoded and presented). With this in mind, there exists a criterion of objective quality (referred to as a predetermined “swap criterion” of objective quality), for the two objective quality levels, that translates to a virtually imperceptible difference in perceptual quality. Two co-located sections having objective quality levels that meet this criterion are considered interchangeable or swappable with each other for purposes of streaming to a client device because of their imperceptible or nearly imperceptible difference in perceptual quality. “Co-located” sections are also referred to herein as “corresponding” sections.
Swappable, co-located, encoded sections may be swapped to reduce streaming bandwidth in cases where co-located sections include a first section encoded at a relatively high bitrate and a (co-located) second section encoded at a relatively low bitrate. Specifically, streaming the (lower bitrate) second section instead of (i.e., in place of) its co-located (higher bitrate) first section reduces streaming bandwidth, while maintaining perceptual quality. The first section is referred to herein as a “replaceable section” and the second section that is streamed instead of the first section is referred to herein as the “replacement section.” The more often high bitrate sections are replaced with their co-located low bitrate sections while streaming, i.e., the more often bitrate swapping occurs, the more streaming bandwidth is conserved.
Measures of objective quality of a section of encoded video (e.g., of a cluster/block of encoded video) include, but are not limited to, a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the section, a peak SNR (PSNR) of the section, a structural similarity index (SSIM) that measures a similarity between sections, and so on.
PSNR is a commonly used measure for assessing a quality of reconstructed video after compression (encoding). PSNR is measured on a logarithmic scale and depends on the Mean Squared Error (MSE) between an original source image and an impaired image or video frame. A higher PSNR generally indicates better quality, while a lower PSNR generally indicates poorer quality. Formulas for PSNR are given below:
Where: m & n are dimensions of an image; I & K are components of an image (Y, U, V); and MAX, is a maximum possible pixel value.
Each section of encoded video may be assigned one or more scores based on the different possible objective quality measures. Multiple successive encoded sections may have their objective quality levels combined into and, therefore, associated with, a single measurement of objective quality, which may include, e.g., a mean or variance of the SNR (or PSNR) or each of the multiple sections.
A criterion of objective quality that indicates co-located sections may be swapped with little or no impact on perceptual quality—if the co-located section have levels of objective quality that each meet that criterion—may be based on one of:
-
- a. an absolute level of objective quality, e.g., co-located clusters are declared swappable if the PSNR of each cluster is above a threshold PSNR; and
- b. a difference between respective levels objective quality of co-located encoded sections, e.g., co-located clusters are declared swappable if a difference between their respective PSNR values is less than a certain PSNR difference threshold.
For relative criterion (b), a variable scale may be defined using as a base PSNR a highest level PSNR among encoded sections under consideration; e.g., for encoded section PSNR levels in a range of 29 dB and 31 dB, an acceptable difference value may be 1.5 dB, and for encoded section PSNR levels in a range of 27 dB and 29 dB, an acceptable PSNR difference level may be only 1 dB. The variable scale may be extended to cover all encoded section PSNR levels that are expected as part of an encoding process, and may also extend to cover other objective quality metrics such as a mean, a variance, a difference between highest and lowest PSNR levels in a cluster, or a formula combining some or all of these or other metrics. Such assignments may be altered based on the type of objective quality that is used.
Embodiments directed to adaptive streaming using section swapping described below include (i) a “swapping-while-streaming” embodiment in which swappable co-located sections from different files are swapped while streaming, and (ii) a “pre-swapped streaming” embodiment in which a single file containing pre-swapped sections is constructed from multiple encoded files before streaming is initiated, and then all of the sections in the single file, including the pre-swapped sections, are streamed from that file. Examples of these embodiments are described below.
Swapping-While-Streaming
In swapping-while-streaming, swappable co-located sections are swapped while streaming from multiple different container files in real-time, such as from multiple container files 208 in
-
- a. Separate container files 208(1), 208(2), and 208(3) represent three levels N, N−1 and N−2, respectively, of the n levels available for e.g., DivX® Plus Streaming;
- b. Levels N, N−1, and N−2 are each encoded at successively decreasing bitrates but may be at the same resolution. In other examples, the Levels are each encoded at successively decreasing bitrates but may be at different resolutions;
- c. Swappable, co-located clusters (including a replaceable section, and its corresponding replacement section) have been determined and identified across the container files 208(1)-208(3). As described above, the swappable, co-located clusters are determined based on determined/measured objective quality levels of the clusters in the container files and a comparison of the determined/measured objective quality levels (of co-located sections) against a predetermined criterion of objective quality indicative of a minimal difference in perceptual quality; and
- d. Level N is initially selected for streaming.
Traversing left-to-right in
Pre-Swapped Streaming
In pre-swapped streaming, a single file containing swappable sections, i.e., level-drops, is constructed from multiple files before streaming. Then, the sections in the single file, including the pre-swapped sections, are streamed from that file.
Level-Drop Information
-
- a. records 802 linked vertically to indicate determined, time-ordered, replaceable clusters among the clusters of level N, e.g., in container file 208(1);
- b. records 804 linked vertically to indicate determined, time-ordered replacement clusters among the clusters of level N−1, e.g., in container file 208(2); and
- c. records 806 to indicate a determined replacement cluster among the clusters of level N−2, e.g., in container file 208(3).
- Horizontal links 810 between records indicating co-located, replaceable and replacement clusters, e.g., between Level N and Levels N−1, N−2.
Distributor 114 may embed level-drop information 800 as in container files and metadata. Alternatively, or additionally, level-drop information may be stored as an auxiliary/metadata, level-drop file that is stored and indexed separately from the container files. Therefore, in the swapping-while-streaming embodiment, level-drop information 800 may be streamed from distributor 114, to client device 104, with streamed clusters. Alternatively, level-drop information may be streamed from the auxiliary file separately from the clusters.
In the pre-swapped embodiment, distributor 114 uses level-drop information 800 to construct a single pre-swapped file and need not be streamed to client device 104. However, client device 104 does not need the level-drop information.
Server-Client Sequence Diagram
During initialization/set-up phase 904, distributor 114 encodes video programs and stores the encoded video programs in container files for subsequent streaming to client device 104. Distributor 114 determines swappable co-located sections among the container files associated with each program based on determined objective quality measures and a predetermined swap criterion for the objective quality measures of co-located clusters in different files, as discussed above. Distributor 114 embeds drop-level information, such as information 900, in the container files, or stores the information in a separate drop-level file. In the pre-swapped embodiment, distributor 114 constructs a single file for streaming using the drop-level information and the multiple container files.
During a user interaction phase 920, client device 104 presents client-side GUIs to a user. At 924, the user selects a program from the GUIs, and, in response, client device 104 sends a request for the program to distributor 114.
During a pre-streaming phase 930, in response to the client device request (at 924), at 932, the distributor 114 sends an index of URLs associated with the requested program to client device 104. In the swapping-while-streaming embodiment, distributor 114 may also sends drop-level information if such information is provided in a separate file. Alternatively, distributor 114 may stream the drop-level information to client 104 in subsequent pre-streaming and streaming phases 930, 940, described below. The URLs may include a first URL directed to a program index (e.g., index 204 in
During streaming phase 940, streaming of the requested program from distributor 114 to client device 104 commences. Client device 104 determines a streaming bandwidth available at the client device and selects a stream from among the multi-bitrate streams, as indicated in the program index, that best matches the determined bandwidth. Client device 104 continually requests encoded stream sections from container files in distributor 114 based on the index information and the level-drop information (in the swapping-while-streaming embodiment), and receives the requested blocks from the distributor. In the swapping-while-streaming embodiment, the level-drop information may have been received during pre-streaming phase 930, may be streamed from a separate level-drop file, and/or may be embedded as records in the encoded video sections streamed during stage 940. Client device 104 buffers the received sections, decodes the buffered sections, and then presents the decoded sections. As streaming conditions change, client device 104 may switch to a new stream, i.e., request sections from another stream having a bitrate better suited to the changed conditions.
In yet another embodiment, level-drop information may be calculated dynamically at client device 104 instead of distributor 114 based on objective quality levels embedded in streamed sections. In this embodiment, distributor 114 embeds measured objective quality levels in corresponding encoded video sections, and streams the sections to the client device 104. Client device 104 calculates level-drop information based on the received objective quality levels, and performs swapping-while-streaming based on the dynamically calculated objective quality levels.
In both the swapping-while-streaming and pre-swapped embodiments, client device 104 intermittently requests replacement blocks having a lower encoded bitrate than the co-located replaceable block, which advantageously conserves streaming bandwidth at the client device. Each replacement block is streamed at the same its corresponding or co-located replaceable block would have been streamed had it not been replaced.
Client-Side Method
-
- 1005 includes requesting to stream the video program.
- 1010 includes receiving an index to multiple files containing the video encoded at different bitrates, including at least a first bitrate and a second bitrate that is less than the first bit rate.
- 1015 includes determining an available streaming bandwidth.
- 1020 includes selecting from the received index the file encoded at the first bitrate based on the determined streaming bandwidth.
- 1025 includes initiating streaming of the selected file.
- 1030 includes streaming the selected file, including requesting successive sections of encoded video and receiving the requested sections. The swapping-while-streaming embodiment also includes receiving level-drop information in any number of ways, including streaming the level-drop information from an auxiliary file before or while streaming the encoded video, or as metadata embedded with the streamed encoded sections. The streaming in the swapping-while-streaming embodiment includes requesting encoded sections from multiple levels (e.g., levels N, N−1, and N−2, etc.), i.e., requesting swappable sections, based on the level-drop information, so as to conserve bandwidth.
Server/Network-Side Method
-
- 1110 includes encoding video at a first bitrate to produce first encoded sections.
- 1115 includes encoding the video at a second bitrate that is less than the first bitrate to produce second encoded sections, each having encoded therein the video of a corresponding one of the first encoded sections. The first and second encoded sections may encode video that has the same resolution for each of the first and second encoded sections, or may encode video having different resolution.
- 1120 includes measuring levels of objective quality, indicative of perceptual quality, of the first and second encoded sections.
- 1125 includes determining, based on the measured objective quality levels and a predetermined criterion of objective quality indicative of a relatively small difference in perceptual quality, swappable sections, including replaceable sections among the first encoded sections, and corresponding replacement sections among the second encoded sections, each of the replacement sections to replace a corresponding/co-located one of the replaceable sections. This can be through of as declaring or identifying certain co-located sections as swappable sections if they meet the predetermined criterion. A result of the determining in 1125 is to identify sections in lower levels (e.g., N−1, N−2) which may be swapped with higher levels (e.g., N) with little or no impact to the subjective/perceptual quality of the video.
- 1130 includes generating, from the determining in 1125, level-drop information identifying the replaceable sections and their corresponding replacement sections in the first and second container files, respectively.
- 1135 includes streaming the first encoded sections except for the replaceable sections, and the replacement sections instead of their corresponding replaceable sections, thereby conserving streaming bandwidth. Each replacement section is streamed at the same time its corresponding or co-located replaceable section would have been streamed had it not been replaced.
-
- 1205 includes streaming the replacement sections instead of the replaceable sections from a second file containing the second encoded sections. Each replacement section is streamed from the second file at the same time its corresponding replaceable section would have been streamed from the first file.
- 1210 includes streaming the replacement sections from a second file containing the second encoded sections.
-
- 1305 includes constructing a file containing (i) the first encoded sections, except for the replaceable sections, and (ii) the replacement sections instead of their corresponding replaceable sections.
- 1310 includes streaming the first encoded sections, except for the replacement section, and the replacement sections from the constructed file.
Methods and systems disclosed herein may be implemented with respect to one or more of a variety of systems including one or more consumer systems, such as described below with reference to
In a prototype example, a full length feature movie (video program) (2hours and 25 minutes) was encoded at three bitrates: 8400 kbps, 5300 kbps, and 3500 kbps utilizing a 2-pass encoding process at a resolution of 1920×816 pixels and 24 frames per second. The PSNR for each frame was determined against the original source video, and the frames were grouped into clusters of 48 frames, corresponding to 2 seconds of video frames. From here, the lowest PSNR of the frames in a cluster was determined for each cluster, and a minimum PSNR of 40 dB was chosen as the least acceptable objective quality metric for a cluster. If the minimum PSNR for a cluster at a lower level was available, that cluster was swapped for the higher level cluster. This approach was used for 8400 kbps (using 8400 kbps, 5300 kbps, and 3500 kbps), and for 5300 kbps (using 5300 kbps and 3500 kbps). The results were an accumulative bandwidth savings of 36% for an 8400 kbps stream and 18% for a 5300 kbps stream, with minimal impact on perceptual quality.
