  • Automated video quality assessment (Development)

    Provided guidance and a proof-of-concept for an automated blackbox end-to-end video quality mobile assessment tool taking into account:
    - frame rate
    - resolution
    - colorspace
    - aspect-ratio
    - rotation

  • DVB-S2 capture card front-end (Development)
