TLDR
The independent test results from the VQEG FR-TV Phase II tests are summarized, as well as results from eleven other subjective data sets that were used to develop the NTIA General Model.Abstract:
The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA) General Model for estimating video quality and its associated calibration techniques were independently evaluated by the Video Quality Experts Group (VQEG) in their Phase II Full Reference Television (FR-TV) test. The NTIA General Model was the only video quality estimator that was in the top performing group for both the 525-line and 625-line video tests. As a result, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) adopted the NTIA General Model and its associated calibration techniques as a North American Standard in 2003. The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) has also included the NTIA General Model as a normative method in two Draft Recommendations. This paper presents a description of the NTIA General Model and its associated calibration techniques. The independent test results from the VQEG FR-TV Phase II tests are summarized, as well as results from eleven other subjective data sets that were used to develop the method.read more

Digital tele-echocardiography: a look inside
Daniele Giansanti,Sandra Morelli +1 more
TL;DR: The study examined some points which need to be improved to allow a better introduction of the T-E in the NHCS as a routine exam including the lacking of an easy and automatic methodology for the image quality assessment alternative to the currently used methods which are highly complex, expensive and needing a long time to be applied.

Seamless video access for mobile devices by content-aware utility-based adaptation
TL;DR: An adaptation decision taking technique employing a utility-based approach to decide on the most adequate scalability parameters for adaptation operations is developed and a video adaptation framework is proposed, to provide an important step towards enabling seamless video access for mobile devices.

A very low complexity reduced reference video quality metric based on spatio-temporal information selection
TL;DR: A reduced reference video quality metric that exploits contrast and motion sensitivity characteristics of the HVS to perform a spatio-temporal selection of reference data, integrated with a modified SSIM-based framework to produce STIS-SSIM, a very low complexity reduced reference metric.

ARMOR - A system for adjusting repair and media scaling for video streaming
TL;DR: A novel video quality metric called distorted playable frame rate is proposed that provides estimation of user perceptual quality considering temporal and quality degradations and illustrates the predictive power of the metric in a dynamic, streaming video system.

Rate-distortion optimised quantisation for HEVC using spatial just noticeable distortion
TL;DR: A novel perceptual-based solution fully compliant with the HEVC standard is proposed, where a low complexity Just Noticeable Distortion model is used to drive the encoder's rate-distortion optimised quantisation process.

DVQ: A digital video quality metric based on human vision
TL;DR: The Digital Video Quality (DVQ) metric as discussed by the authors is based on the Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) and incorporates aspects of early visual processing, including light adaptation, luminance and chromatic channels, spatial and temporal filtering, spatial frequency channels, contrast masking, and probability summation.

Video Quality Measurement Techniques
TL;DR: The goal of this report is to provide a complete description of the ITS video quality metric (VQM) algorithms and techniques, which provide close approximations to the overall quality impressions, or mean opinion scores, of digital video impairments that have been graded by panels of viewers.

TL;DR: A perceptual video quality system is proposed, that uses a linear combination of three indicators, the “edginess” of the luminance, the normalized color error and the temporal decorrelation, that showed the highest variance weighted regression overall correlation of all models.
