Characterizing packet-loss impairments in compressed video

— We examine metrics to predict the visibility of packet losses in MPEG-2 and H.264 compressed video. We use subjective data that has a wide range of parameters, including different error concealment strategies and different compression standards. We evaluate SSIM, MSE, and a SliceBoundary Mismatch (SBM) metric for their effectiveness at characterizing packet-loss impairments.
