Welcome and Scope
The Quality of Experience (QoE) is well-defined in QUALINET white papers, but its assessment and
metrics are subject to research. The aim of this workshop on “Quality of Immersive Media:
Assessment and Metrics” is to provide a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss the latest
findings in this field.
The scope of this workshop is
● to raise awareness about MPEG efforts in the context of quality of immersive visual media and
● invite experts (outside of MPEG) to present new techniques relevant to this workshop
Quality assessments within MPEG typically serve two purposes:
● to foster decision-making on the tool adoptions during the standardization process and
● to validate the outcome of a standardization effort compared to an established anchor (i.e., for
verification testing).
