Scaling Techniques for Subjective Judgments of Image Quality

J. Edward Jackson

The purpose of this paper is to discuss subjective scaling relative to the judgment of motion-picture or television images with the aim of arriving at a criterion (or criteria). The primary emphasis of this paper is on the various ways in which scaling methods may be classified, some of the judgment techniques which may be employed in obtaining the different scales and the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques. This paper is not concerned to any extent with the analytical procedures involved but deals primarily with the philosophy of obtaining and scaling subjective data.
