Joint Adaptation for Mobile 360-Degree Video Streaming and Enhancement
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Tile-based streaming and super resolution (SR) are two representative technologies adopted to improve bandwidth efficiency of 360° video streaming. The former allows selective downloading of contents in the user viewport by splitting the video into multiple independently decodable tiles. The latter leverages client-side computation to enhance the received video to higher quality using advanced neural network models. In this work, we propose a Collaborated Streaming and Enhancement (CSE) adaptation framework for mobile 360° videos, which integrates super resolution with tile-based streaming to optimize the user experience with dynamic bandwidth and limited computing capability. To effectively enhance the tile-based video streaming through SR, we propose to adaptively group the tiles for quality enhancement adapting to the content similarity. We also identify and address several key design issues to integrate SR into tile-based video streaming including unified video quality assessment, computational complexity model for super resolution, and buffer analysis considering the interplay between transmission and enhancement. We further formulate the quality-of-experience (QoE) maximization problem for mobile 360° video streaming and propose a rate adaptation algorithm to make the best decisions for download and for enhancement based on the Lyapunov optimization theory. Extensive evaluation results validate the superiority of our proposed approach, which demonstrates stable performance with considerable QoE improvement, while enabling a trade-off between playback smoothness and video quality.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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 source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
