VERFAHREN ZUR ESTIMATION DER BILDQUALITÄT EINES DEKODIERTEN BILDES

摘要

By utilizing parameters derivable from a compressed bit-stream, measures are obtained of the subjective quality of a decoded picture, without the necessity for reference to source material. A blockiness measure is derived both locally and globally and used to control a de-blocking filter. An estimate of signal-to-noise ratio is derived from quantization values.
