Abstract: This paper discusses the analysis of an audiovisual desktop video-teleconferencing subjective experiment conducted at the Institute for Telecommunication Sciences. Objective models of the individual audio and video quality are presented. Also discussed is an objective model of the audio-visual quality based upon the results of the individual objective audio and video quality models. Finally, a subjective model of the audiovisual quality based upon users’ ratings of the audio and video quality is discussed.
