PNATS-UHD-1-Long: An Open Video Quality Dataset for Long Sequences for HTTP-based Adaptive Streaming QoE Assessment.

The P.NATS Phase 2 competition in ITU-T Study Group 12 resulted in both the ITU-T Rec. P.1204 series of recommendations, and also a large dataset for HTTP-based adaptive streaming QoE assessment that is now made openly available as part of this paper. The presented dataset consists of 3 subjective databases targeting overall quality assessment of a typical HTTP-based Adaptive Streaming session consisting of degradations such as quality switching, initial loading delay, and stalling events using audiovisual content ranging between 2 and 5 minutes. In addition to this, subject bias and consistency in quality assessment of such longer-duration audiovisual contents with multiple degradations are investigated using a subject behaviour model. As part of this paper, the overall test design, subjective test results, sources, encoded audiovisual contents, and a set of analysis plots are made publicly available for further research.
