Abstract

This paper briefly discusses objective and subjective methods for video quality assessment by focusing on the current work plan and schedule of the Video Quality Experts Group (VQEG). Subjective assessment methods have been used reliably for many years to evaluate video image quality, yet, some issues arise with subjective assessment including the cost of conducting the evaluations and the fact that these methods cannot easily be used to monitor video image quality in realtime. Traditional analog objective measurements, while still necessary, are not sufficient to measure the quality of digitally compressed video systems. Thus, there is a need to develop new objective methods utilizing the characteristics of the human visual system. While several new objective methods have been developed, there is no internationally standardized method. The VQEG is comprised of experts from various fields and organizations working on the evaluation and standardization of methods for video quality assessment. The first and current task of VQEG is the evaluation of objective model performance against subjective results for video quality in the bit rate range of 768 kbits/sec to 50 Mbits/sec.
