It also configures dumping of captured frames if requried. +* [`rtc::VideoSinkInterface<VideoFrame>`][9] which is used to pass frames to + the analyzer before they will be rendered to compute per frame metrics. It + also configures dumping of rendered video if requried. + +Besides factories `VideoQualityAnalyzerInjectionHelper` has method to +orchestrate `VideoQualityAnalyzerInterface` workflow: + +* `Start` - to start video analyzer, so it will be able to receive and analyze + video frames. +* `RegisterParticipantInCall` - to add new participants after analyzer was + started. +* `Stop` - to stop analyzer, compute all metrics for frames that were recevied + before and report them. + +Also `VideoQualityAnalyzerInjectionHelper` implements +[`webrtc::webrtc_pc_e2e::StatsObserverInterface`][11] to propagate WebRTC stats +to `VideoQualityAnalyzerInterface`. + +### EncodedImageDataInjector and EncodedImageDataExtractor + +[`webrtc::webrtc_pc_e2e::EncodedImageDataInjector`][14] and +[`webrtc::webrtc_pc_e2e::EncodedImageDataInjector`][15] are used to inject and +extract data into `webrtc::EncodedImage` to propagate frame ID and other +required information through the network. + +By default [`webrtc::webrtc_pc_e2e::SingleProcessEncodedImageDataInjector`][16] +is used. It assumes `webrtc::EncodedImage` payload as black box which is +remaining unchanged from encoder to decoder and stores the information required +for its work in the last 3 bytes of the payload, replacing the original data +during injection and restoring it back during extraction. Also +`SingleProcessEncodedImageDataInjector` requires that sender and receiver were +inside single process. + +![SingleProcessEncodedImageDataInjector](single_process_encoded_image_data_injector.png "SingleProcessEncodedImageDataInjector") + +## Exported metrics + +Exported metrics are reported to WebRTC perf results reporting system. + +### General + +* *`cpu_usage`* - CPU usage excluding video analyzer + +### Video + +* *`psnr`* - peak signal-to-noise ratio: + [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peak_signal-to-noise_ratio) +* *`ssim`* - structural similarity: + [wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_similarity). +* *`min_psnr`* - minimum value of psnr across all frames of video stream. +* *`encode_time`* - time to encode a single frame. +* *`decode_time`* - time to decode a single frame. +* *`transport_time`* - time from frame encoded to frame received for decoding. +* *`receive_to_render_time`* - time from frame received for decoding to frame + rendered. +* *`total_delay_incl_transport`* - time from frame was captured on device to + time when frame was displayed on device. +* *`encode_frame_rate`* - frame rate after encoder. +* *`harmonic_framerate`* - video duration divided on squared sum of interframe + delays.
