No-Reference Video quality assessment of H.264 video streams based on semantic saliency maps

چکیده
The paper contributes to No-Reference video quality assessment of broadcasted HD video over IP networks and DVB. In this work we have enhanced our bottom-up spatio-temporal saliency map model by considering semantics of the visual scene. Thus we propose a new saliency map model based on face detection that we called semantic saliency map. A new fusion method has been proposed to merge the bottom-up saliency maps with the semantic saliency map. We show that our NR metric WMBER weighted by the spatio-temporal-semantic saliency map provides higher results then the WMBER weighted by the bottom-up spatio-temporal saliency map. Tests are performed on two H.264/AVC video databases for video quality assessment over lossy networks.

NR Video Quality Metric with Visual Saliency from H . 264 Code Stream in Lossy Network Channels
—The paper contributes to video quality assessment of delivered content without reference. We propose a no-reference video quality assessment metric taking into account the behavior of the human visual system. The proposed metric called Weighted Macro-Block Error Rate (WMBER) is based on macro-block error detection and is weighted by visual saliency maps. Both measures are extracted from a part...

The video quality assessment must be adapted to the human visual system, which is why researchers have performed subjective viewing experiments in order to obtain the conditions of encoding of video systems to provide the best quality to the user. The objective of this study is to assess the video quality using image features extraction without using reference video. RMSE values and processing ...
متن کاملWeighted-MSE based on Saliency map for assessing video quality of H.264 video streams
Human vision system is very complex and has been studied for many years specifically for purposes of efficient encoding of visual, e.g. video content from digital TV. There have been physiological and psychological evidences which indicate that viewers do not pay equal attention to all exposed visual information, but only focus on certain areas known as focus of attention (FOA) or saliency regi...

Generally human vision system searches for salient regions and movements in video scenes to lessen the search space and effort. Using visual saliency map for modelling gives important information for understanding in many applications. In this paper we present a simple method with low computation load using visual saliency map for background subtraction in video stream. The proposed technique i...
متن کاملNo Reference Video Quality Metric for 4K-UHD Videos Based on H.264/AVC Bitstream Features
With the wide-spread use of digital videos, quality considerations have become essential, and industry demand for video quality measurement standards is rising. In this paper, we proposed a no reference video quality metric for 4K-UHD videos in the compressed domain. As video coding parameters which can reflect the degree of distortion caused by compression can be extracted in compressed domain...
