Influence of Task and Scene Content on Subjective Video Quality

چکیده
Topic area: image and video processing and analysis / image and video coding Abstract. The influences of task and scene content on a viewer's subjective opinion of compressed video quality are investigated. A group of test subjects are presented with a number of compressed video clips, with or without an initial " task " instruction. Subjective quality ratings and selected eye movement tracking results are recorded. The results indicate that subjective quality is strongly influenced by the presence or absence of distortion in foreground human figures in a video scene and is also influenced by the presence or absence of an initial task. The implications of these results for subjective quality testing and for the design of video compression systems are discussed.

An Improved Motion Vector Estimation Approach for Video Error Concealment Based on the Video Scene Analysis
In order to enhance the accuracy of the motion vector (MV) estimation and also reduce the error propagation issue during the estimation, in this paper, a new adaptive error concealment (EC) approach is proposed based on the information extracted from the video scene. In this regard, the motion information of the video scene around the degraded MB is first analyzed to estimate the motion type of...

This paper presents recommended techniques for choosing video sequences for subjective experiments. Subjective video quality assessment is a well-understood field, yet scene selection is often driven by convenience or content availability. Three-dimensional testing is a newer field that requires new considerations for scene selection. The impact of experiment design on best practices for scene ...

Scene change detection plays an important role in a number of video applications, including video indexing, searching, browsing, semantic features extraction, and, in general, pre-processing and post-processing operations. Several scene change detection methods have been proposed in different coding standards. Most of them use fixed thresholds for the similarity metrics to determine if there wa...

EFL learners may advocate the desire to have a fulfilling experience while doing tasks rather than focus solely on finishing them. However, learners' perspectives have been virtually ignored in the classroom task implementation. Thus, the current study attempted to explore the perceptions of Iranian EFL learners towards listening pre-tasks in motivational and cognitive strategies instruction a...
متن کاملDo video coding impairments disturb the visual attention deployment?
The visual attention deployment in a visual scene is contingent upon a number of factors. The relationship between the observer's attention and the visual quality of the scene is investigated in this paper: can a video artifact disturb the observer's attention? To answer this question, two experiments have been conducted. First, eye-movements of human observers were recorded, while they watched...
