A Perceptual Distortion Metric for Digital Color Video
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper I present a distortion metric for color video sequences. It is based on a contrast gain control model of the human visual system that incorporates spatial and temporal aspects of vision as well as color perception. The model achieves a close fit to contrast sensitivity and contrast masking data from several different psychophysical experiments for both luminance and color stimuli. The metric is used to assess the quality of MPEG-coded sequences.

A Perceptual Distortion Metric for Digital Color Images
This paper presents a comprehensive distortion metric for digital color images. It is based on a normalization model of the human visual system that incorporates color perception. The model is shown to accurately fit psychophysical contrast sensitivity data as well as intraand inter-channel contrast masking data from several different psychophysical experiments. The output of the metric is comp...
متن کاملColor image fidelity metrics evaluated using image distortion maps
Several color image delity metrics are evaluated by comparing the metric predictions to empirical measurements. Subjects examined image pairs consisting of an original and a reproduction. They marked locations on the reproduction that differed detectably from the original. We refer to the distribution of error marks by the subjects as image distortion maps. The empirically obtained image distor...
متن کاملA New Reference Free Approach for the Quality Assessment of MPEG Coded Videos
Currently, the growing of digital video delivery leads to compress at high ratio, the video sequences. Different coding algorithms like MPEG-4 introduce different artifacts (blocking, blurring, ringing) degrading the perceptual video quality. Such impairments are generally exploited by the No-Reference quality assessment. In this paper, we propose to use the principal distortions introduced by ...
متن کاملWatermark Bit Rate in Diverse Signal Domains
A study of the obtainable watermark data rate for information hiding algorithms is presented in this paper. As the perceptual entropy for wideband monophonic audio signals is in the range of four to five bits per sample, a significant amount of additional information can be inserted into signal without causing any perceptual distortion. Experimental results showed that transform domain watermar...
متن کاملA perceptually significant block-edge impairment metric for digital video coding
A new perceptually significant block-edge impairment metric (PS-BIM) is presented in this paper as a quantitative distortion measure to evaluate blocking artifacts in block-based video coding. This distortion measure does not require the original video sequence as a comparative reference and is found to be consistent with subjective evaluation.
