Quality Assessment

Sixteen omnidirectional images, taken from Salient360! [1] dataset, were used in the subjective test. The viewport videos are rendered using rectilinear projection. The pairwise comparison (PC) was selected as the subjective test method. More details on the viewport videos and the subject test procedures can be found in [2].

The SoftCast scheme has been proposed as a promising alternative to traditional video broadcasting systems in wireless environments. In its current form, SoftCast performs image decoding at the receiver side by using a Linear Least Square Error (LLSE) estimator. Such approach maximizes the reconstructed quality in terms of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR). However, we show that the LLSE induces an annoying blur effect at low Channel Signal-to-Noise Ratio (CSNR) quality. To cancel this artifact, we propose to replace the LLSE estimator by the Zero-Forcing (ZF) one.
