Viewing Distance-Aware Volumetric Video Caching and Rendering for XR Services
Bibliographic record
Abstract
In this paper, we propose a novel volumetric video caching and rendering approach tailored for interactive extended reality (XR) services, aiming to enhance users’ quality of experience (QoE). Specifically, an XR user’s QoE is jointly determined by the actual quality of the video delivered to the user’s XR device and the distance between the user’s viewpoint and the location of virtual objects within the videos. Thus, we adopt a customized QoE model and develop an adaptive caching and rendering approach for XR where the users’ viewing distances vary over time. In our proposed approach, point clouds representing virtual objects with various densities can be dynamically cached at the edge server, and then the most appropriate cached point cloud will be selected for rendering to each user. A long-term optimization problem is formulated to maximize the accumulated QoE of XR users over time. Solving the optimization problem is very challenging due to the unavailability of future information and the NP-hardness. Therefore, we first use a regularization technique to decouple the optimization problem into a series of one-shot optimization subproblems, whose relaxed optimal solutions can be efficiently obtained by using convex tools. Then, we design a dependent rounding algorithm to recover relaxed solutions to integral solutions without violating network resource constraints. Simulation results demonstrate that our proposed approach outperforms two benchmark algorithms in terms of the accumulated QoE.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
