Subject: PhD position in QoE assessment of audiovisual services in mobility situations From: Rozenn Nicol <rozenn.nicol@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2015 13:46:17 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY> --_000_D1DC02D1F30Arozennnicolorangecom_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear Colleagues, Orange Labs is looking for a candidate for a fully funded three-year PhD on= the topic of the assessment of the Quality of Experience of audiovisual se= rvices in mobility situations to start in fall 2015. Smartphones or tablet computers are now efficient tools to access audiovisu= al services, either for applications to watch television or movies (video o= n demand, streaming, ...), or for interactive applications such as videocon= ferencing, co-browing, video sharing or e-learning. Whereas the video quali= ty has been significantly improved over the past years, the audio component= received less attention. However the binaural technology, which allows to = create immersive 3D sound for headphones, is a promising solution to add sp= atial sound for audiovisual services in mobility situations. The objective of the PhD thesis is to study the benefit (in terms of Qualit= y of Experience - QoE) of binaural sound in the context of mobile watching = of 2D video with smartphones or tablet computer. Two main issues will be in= vestigated : first, the measurement of QoE in mobility situation (with spec= ial attention to =AB in situ =BB measurement), and second, cross-modal asse= ssment including both audio and visual stimuli. These questions call for ne= w methods of QoE assessment. Send your application, or any questions to rozenn.nicol@xxxxxxxx by Augus= t 31, 2015. Your application must include : - Complete CV including description of relevant courses, projects, an= d potential publications, - a cover letter, - Two contact references from university supervisor or private sector= managers.
