SSCQE (Single Stimulus Continuous Quality Evaluation): A New Subjective Assessment Method Introduced in ITU-R Recommendation 500-7: Presentation and Results

Thierry Alpert, Jean-Pierre Evain

Based on the work undertaken within the European Commission's project RACE MOSAIC to overcome specific digital picture quality issues (e.g. content-dependent encoding performance, codec cascading, dynamic statistical multiplexing), a new methodology was designed to allow subjective assessment of both picture and service quality in conditions closer to the actual home environment. This paper gives a description of this new method, recently introduced in ITU-R Recommendation 500 under the label “SSCQE” for Single Stimulus Continuous Quality Evaluation, including test results.
