An Apparatus (100) for determining an image quality measure (Q<SUB>s</SUB>) of an image signal (d(y, x)) having a vertical resolution of Y lines and a horizontal resolution of X columns on the basis of a reference image signal (o(y, x)), having a vertical resolution of Y lines and a horizontal resolution of X columns, the apparatus comprising a means (310) for determining a vertical edge image signal (d<SUB>v</SUB>(y, x)) representing vertical edges in the image signal, a horizontal edge image signal (d<SUB>h</SUB>(y, x)) representing horizontal edges in the image signal, a vertical edge reference image signal (o<SUB>v</SUB>(y, x)) representing vertical edges in the reference image signal and a horizontal edge reference image signal (o<SUB>h</SUB>(y, x)) representing horizontal edges in the reference image signal, a means (320) for determining a first mean absolute spatial gradient (E<SUB>o</SUB>(y, x)) in the reference image signal based on a first sum of samples of the horizontal edge reference image signal (o<SUB>h</SUB>(y, x)) and a second sum of samples of the vertical edge reference image signal (o<SUB>v</SUB>(y, x)), wherein the samples of the first sum are spaced one line and K columns apart, and the samples of the second sum are spaced K lines and one column apart, and for determining a second mean absolute spatial gradient (E<SUB>d</SUB>(y, x)) in the image signal based on a third sum of samples of the horizontal edge image signal (d<SUB>h</SUB>(y, x)) and a fourth sum of samples of the vertical edge image signal (d<SUB>v</SUB>(y, x)), wherein the samples of the third sum are spaced one line and K columns apart and the samples of the fourth sum are spaced K lines and one column apart, and a means (330) for calculating the image quality measure (Q<SUB>s</SUB>(t) ), based on the first (E<SUB>o</SUB>(y, x)) and the second mean absolute spatial gradient (E<SUB>d</SUB>(y, x)). |
