<p>Icecast Server is used as a streaming server to broadcast to various listeners. A return channel allows for possibility of receiving feedback from listeners. This will make the streams interactive for conducting polls etc. The project aims to develop this return channel from listeners to source.</p>

<p>I propose to implement several metrics based on differens features of video such as color histograms, edge information, geometrical transformations etc. It is also useful to implement separate metrics to detect flashes so the algorithm would be invariant to them. The final algorithm will take into account the features with the greatest contribution to accuracy. It will also be possible to vary the speed of the algorithm by changing the calculated features.</p>

<p>Icecast supports writing a basic access.log that includes client information as well as connection time. An analytical interface will be implemented that will make the server and source-specific data more meaningful.</p>
