The Design of an Objective Metric and Construction of a Prototype System for Monitoring Perceived Quality (QoE) of Video Sequences

Abstract

The paper presents different no reference (NR) objective metrics addressing the most important artefacts for raw (source) video sequences (noise, blur, exposure) and those introduced by compression (blocking, flickering) which can be used for assessing quality of experience. The validity of all metrics was verified under subjective tests.
