    摘要: The present invention relates to a full-reference (FR) objective method for assessing perceptual quality of decoded video frames in the presence of packet losses and coding artifacts. A method of assessing perceptual quality is provided. First, a value indicating an amount of distortion in a corresponding portion is accessed. Then, that value is classified as packet-loss distortion or coding-artifact distortion. Next, the classified value is modified to account for visibility differences of the human visual system, based on the classification, and then the modified values are combined for the multiple portions, to form a value indicating a total amount of distortion for the multiple portions.

    摘要: A method for accurately measuring flicker, by first determining an original value based on a difference between pixel values in corresponding locations in a first picture and a second picture. Next, a reconstructed value is determined, based on a difference between pixel values in corresponding locations in a reconstruction from an encoding of the first picture and a reconstruction from an encoding of the second picture. Then, a determination is made to include a comparison value, which is determined on a difference between the reconstructed value and the original value, in a measurement of flicker between the first picture and the second picture.

    摘要: An encoding methodology for a video encoder encodes target light change (TLC) frames in order to improve the quality of the resulting decoded video. Backward prediction is applied instead of forward prediction to the frames that are detected as TLC frames. Additionally, the last frame of the TLC activity is forced to use only intra-coding modes.
