Best in Show
How does one become ‘the best’? You run faster; jump further; eat the most hot dogs. In these examples the winner is objective. They are the Usain Bolts, the Joey Chestnuts. But how do you define ‘the best’ when dealing with subjective matter? Milk chocolate or dark chocolate? Rec.2020 and 1,000 cd/m2 or P3 with 4,000? In terms of image quality, both consumers and creators want to know what makes ‘the best’. Consumers want a number or a letter grade, and creators and engineers want to know how to make that image or television rate the highest. It comes down to creating a metric that factors in all image attributes and weighting them by how each are valued by consumers. We will discuss the challenges faced in creating such a metric, and our study that compared image quality dimensions such as dynamic range, color primaries, bit depth, and contrast.
