摘要: Quality of experience (QoE) has been one of the most important factors for service providers and operators to develop and deploy services. Previous works have shown that Weber-Fechner law (WFL) can be used to promote the accuracy of best-effort (BE) services’ QoE assessment. In this paper, based on WFL, we take a deep insight into the visual information of BE services and its role in WFL, especially in web browsing services, and propose an enhanced QoE assessment model for BE services by taking the visual information into account. Both images and texts visual information are extracted and combined to get the visual information for web pages. Finally, a subjective experiment is performed to validate performance of proposed QoE assessment model, which shows that it performs better than traditional WFL based model.
