Content-based adaptive media player for networked video

This paper proposes an adaptive media play-out (AMP) method based on perceived motion energy (PME). Most of current researches of AMP are focusing only on buffer control and packet scheduling. Here, we develop a PME-based threshold adjustment scheme for determining the play-out rate. Because human eyes are more sensitive to high motion videos, we avoid over-slowing the play-out rate in high motion video clips. We adjust the play-out based on the PME variation to improve the visual perceptibility.
