ITU-T P.1201.2 Audiovisual Quality Estimation Tool

This tool is an implementation of the audiovisual coding quality module of the ITU-T P.1201.2 standard. It estimates the audiovisual, video, audio coding quality for IP-based video streaming applications. It works on audiovisual bitstream (PCAP) in combination with the modified JM H.264/AVC codec. It also works with encrypted data, but the I/P/B frame sizes have in that case to be estimated, and the performance of the model depends on the accurate estimation of the I/P/B frame sizes. Finally, video files encoded with x264 or the H.264/AVC JM Reference Software are also supported.

Usage Example

Required software: python 2.7

Usage:

./call_P1201_2.py input results.txt

input is a directory containing two types of files (.vfi, .pre) per audiovisual sequence:

• .pre: side information, e.g. video codec and profiles, audio codec, etc.
• .vfi: list of frame types and sizes
• results.txt contains resulting estimated audio, video and audiovisual quality scores per files listed in input
