1 Video Quality Evaluation with Multiple Coding Artifacts L. Dong, W. Lin*, P. Xue School of Electrical & Electronic Engineering Nanyang Technological University, Singapore * Laboratories of Information Technology, Singapore Abstract: - The study aims at identifying effects of different coding artifacts towards video quality in various situations, via comprehensive analysis of VQEG test results. It confirms that each coding artifact factor (e.g., blockiness or edge damage) may play different role in different video sequences. This finding leads to the proposed strategy for a new distortion evaluation scheme. Key-Words: - Perceptual visual metrics, Subjective tests, Coding artifacts, Human visual system, Blockiness, Edge 1 Introduction It is widely acknowledged that peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) does not always correlate well with perceived picture quality. In order to develop quality metrics with better match with human vision, various approaches [1-10] have been tested both inside and outside of VQEG (Video Quality Expert Group) initiatives. Much effort has been directed to modeling human vision characteristics, temporal and spatial decomposition [1-4], and detecting features (e.g., blockiness, correlated error, etc.) [5-9] in the images. However, due to incomplete understanding on the human vision system and lag in incorporating physiological/psychological findings, the performance of the second class of metrics is still far from our expectations [10-11]. In the ten metrics (inclusive of PSNR metric) under VQEG evaluation, none can outperform others in all test sequences with 16 test combinations each in term of Pearson correlation (the prediction accuracy measure) and Spearman rank-order correlation (the prediction monotonicity measure). In this paper, we present some of the findings from a comprehensive investigation and comparative analysis on the VQEG source sequences, the associated decoded results, the difference images, and the DMOS (Difference Mean Opinion Scores). Important issues, which measure and subjective DMOS are highlighted. A new scheme for distortion gauge is hence proposed. 2 Material & Sequence Classification for this Study VQEG conducted subjective tests [12] against a wide spectrum of decoded video sequences (both 50 and 60 Hz). The 16 source sequences used in the study are shown in Figure 1 while their corresponding test conditions are listed in Table 1. DMOS values typically range from 0 (the highest subjective quality) to 100 (the lowest subjective quality). For this study, the test sequences are divided into 3 groups according to the nature of visual signal. Those with fast object motion are classified as group 1, including SRC5, SRC6, SRC9 & SRC19. The second group consists of those with no fast object motion but intensive edge in the images, including SRC1, SRC2, SRC3, SRC10, SRC14, SRC15, SRC18 & SRC22. In the last (third) group are those with neither fast object motion nor intensive edge, including SRC4, SRC16, SRC20 & SRC21. Src1_ref_625 Src2_ref_625 Src3_ref_625 Src4_ref_625

3 3 Three Major Causes of Inconsistent Distortion Measure For the first group of sequences (all are sport sequences), the highest subjective scores (DMOS) are mostly generated by HRC11, HRC13, HRC14, and HRC15. Among them, HRC11, HRC13, HRC14 generate significant blocking effect, and HRC15 does not. Figure 2 shows SRC6_HRC11 in which blocking effect is more visible in SRC6_HRC15. In Figure 3, it can be seen that HRC11, HRC13, HRC14 have much higher PSNR than HRC15 for all sequences in Group 1 (i.e., SRC5, SRC6, SRC9 and SRC19), but their subjective qualities look no better as compared with HRC15. It is observed that blockiness appears as the major damage to visual quality when fast motion occurs. In the second group of sequences, the SRCs have much high-frequency information in a frame, as well as some slow movement in objects or camera zooming. One can see that blocking effects also exist in these SRCs (for example SRC8_HRC13), however, they are less annoying as comparing to those in Group 1. For this group, the worst DMOSs are with the sequences with blurred edges. Edge blurring occurs when information lost near edge. vicinity. This can be understood as high-frequency components, particular those with edge information are most important to human visual system. In Figure 4 (a) and (b), a frame is shown for each of two decoded video sequences: the test combination SRC10_HRC15 exhibits more severe damages on edge than SRC10_HRC1 (it is obvious with the calendar, animals, fences and other areas). This can also be seen in Figure 4 (c) and (d) where more edge energy can be found in the error image of SRC10_HRC15 than that of SRC10_HRC1. As we expected, the DMOS for SRC10_HRC1 is significantly lower than that for SRC10_HRC15 (22 and 68, respectively), although the average PSNR for the two test combinations is very close (in fact, SRC10_HRC15 is even 0.5 db higher). The conclusion is that the concentration of error energy on edge that causes degradation of perceptual quality. The similar phenomena happen with other sequences in the group. In Group 3, since neither blockiness nor intensive damaged edges occur, luminance and chrominance errors become the major factor in distortion perception in most test combinations.

Comparison of SRC10_HRC1 and SRC10_HRC15 4 Proposed Strategies for Perceptual Visual Metric The main difficulty in real-world quality assessment is that many factors affect the overall perception in the human visual system and in general, there is no prior knowledge of dominant distortion. However, detecting multiple error sources simultaneously is time consuming. It also disturbs the measurement accuracy practically when some certain types of error do not present. In [9], a switching is devised between blockiness detection and normal error evaluation. From analysis in section 3, blockiness is the major distortion factor in fast moving video (Group 1) while damaged edges are contributing significantly to quality degradation of in Group 2. A double switching mechanism is proposed for fast motion detection and subsequently strong edge detection, as shown in Figure 5. Since a general VQM (visual quality metric) (e.g. [1-4]) could not
5 predict perceptual distortion effectively in all case, blockiness error (once fast motion is detected) or edge error (no fast motion but intensive edge is present) must incorporate alongside with the VQM. Figure 5. Proposed Scheme for Distortion Evaluation Based upon Multiple Error Detection. S1~S3 are three switches. For S1, if there is no fast motion detected, continue Strong Edge Detecting. For S2, if Strong Edge Detector result is true, then add Edge Blurring Error into Distortion Measure. S3 is the same as S2. 5 Concluding Remarks We have conducted an analysis of VQEG test sequences with subjective test results, and identified major factors affecting perceptual quality according to the nature of visual signals. There is no doubt that various artifacts co-existing in pictures, but they downgrade the perceptual quality in different ways depending on the nature of video sequences viewed. Based upon these findings a new scheme of distortion metric has been proposed with switching strategy among different error detections.
