Thanks to its inherent multidimensional adaptability, a scalable bit stream can be used to simultaneously transmit multiple video sequences having different bit rates to corresponding target users, without necessity of re-encoding or transcoding. In order to exploit such an advantage effectively, it is crucial to understand the effects of multidimensional scalability options on the perceived quality and the trade-off between the scalability dimensions through subjective quality assessment. This paper reviews existing studies aiming at achieving this goal in order to summarize their results and common findings.Scalable video codingsubjective quality assessmentquality of experiencetext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
