AVT @ TU Ilmenau

Happy New Year from us at the Audiovisual Technology Group at @TU_Ilmenau! We're wishing everyone a year filled with innovation, collaboration, and groundbreaking discoveries in the world of audiovisual tech! #QoE

From AR headsets to telepresence robots (#COHUMANICS), our research highlights how innovative tech can bridge distances for older adults. Early results are promising, but there’s much more to explore in usability, joy, and accessibility! 🚀 #ThrowbackThursday #QoE

#ThrowbackThursday to when we co-authored studies on communication between grandparents and grandchildren! Face-to-face & phone chats still lead the way, while AR and robot tech show potential despite usability challenges. Non-digital tools often deliver richer experiences.

@ieee_ism Dominik analyzed the impact of #framerate|s on perceived video quality using #SAMVIQ, showed that higher frame rates improved quality, and provided open-source test software to support HFR research. Find it here: researchgate.net/publication/38… Code: github.com/Telecommunicat…

@ieee_ism Steve presented a new dataset of 1496 upscaled images evaluated for appeal, compared 5 methods (Real-ESRGAN, BSRGAN, waifu2x, KXNet, Lanczos), and developed models that detect methods and predict appeal. Find it here: researchgate.net/publication/38…

Steve and Dominik participated at @ieee_ism in Tokyo and presented some of their recent works about appeal and high frame rate.

#ThrowbackThursday: How does mobile video QoE suffer from network issues? Our study revealed the impact of stalling events on YouTube, evaluated prediction power of stalling time, & explored challenges for QoE modeling & monitoring. 📱📊 #QoE Read: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114…

In our latest paper, we investigated how video resolution and quality influence nonverbal behaviors in #videoconferencing. Higher resolution increased movements and gaze directed at the partner, while higher quality enhanced facial expression synchrony. doi.org/10.1145/367895…

On today's #ThrowbackThursday we dive into a book chapter about #videoquality assessment in immersive media, focusing on subjective testing with humans and objective metrics. It highlights the unique challenges of omnidirectional video. doi.org/10.1016/B978-0… #QoE

Dominik’s latest paper explores how #8K compares to #4K at various viewing distances. Findings reveal that 8K’s quality advantage fades beyond 2.6H, where most viewers prefer to sit, limiting perceptual benefits. Link: doi.org/10.1109/ACCESS… #QoE #HDR

Stephanie presented our work at @ieeeMMSP 2024 on how transmission delay affects nonverbal behavior in videoconferencing. We found that people inhibit body motions to create predictable patterns, compensating for delays. #IEEEMMSP Link: researchgate.net/publication/38… #QoE

Madrid will host #QoMEX25 from Sept. 30 to Oct. 2! @GTI_Dem3DTV experts and leaders in Quality of Experience will be present. Check out dates and get ready: qomex2025.itec.aau.at #QoMEX2025 #QoE #GTIEvents @La_UPM @telecoupm

Last year, we explored how haptic feedback impacts spatial presence in #VR gardening. Findings show that haptic feedback can increase spatial presence and women rated presence & realism higher. Read: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114… #ThrowbackThursday

#AI-generated images have come a long way! We analyzed realism and appeal of images from #DALLE, Midjourney, and Craiyon using 27 text prompts. Some produced realistic results, but it all depends on the approach and prompt. Read: ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum… #QoE #throwbackthursday

Today's #ThrowbackThursday paper is the 'Qualinet White Paper on Definitions of Quality of Experience' (#QoE). At its time, it acted as a agreed upon base to quantify subjective quality. Researchers from 21 entities were participating in that process. hal.science/hal-04638470/

Within the 6G NeXt project, we met with academic partners and companies at Schönhagen airfield to conduct #6G measurements on intelligent drones, including the specially developed “Manta-X.” We'll create a 3D model of the airfield using photogrammetry and develop a QoS/QoE model.

Alex and Felix visited @cwi_dis for a meeting of the Immersive Media Group (IMG, part of #VQEG), where experts presented and discussed results and test methods for #immersive communication systems, contributing to the ongoing @ITU|-T work item P.IXC. cwi.nl/en/news/cwis-d…

Stephanie presented a paper at #IEEE #ROMAN2024 in which she investigated how varying levels of robot control influences the perceived presence of the person who is remotely located. Read the paper here: researchgate.net/publication/38… #QoE #science
