Abstract

The need to measure video quality arises in the development of video equipment and in the delivery and storage of video and image information. In this paper, we propose a new perceptually significant video quality metric to estimate the effect of block coding for standards H.264 AVC and MPEG2. Our method operates in the spatial domain and does not require a high complexity of computation. We evaluate the performance of the proposed method by using three sequences CIF ‘common intermediate file’ with different compression rate. We compare it with Suthaharan’s and MSU’s techniques by using ‘LIVE’ and ‘IVP’ databases. Results indicate that the proposed method outperforms Suthaharan’s and MSU techniques in H264 coder. They also indicate that our method is more effective than MSU’s and Suthaharan’s techniques for the H.264 AVC standards with the Spearman Rank Order Correlation Coefficient.
