Objective Image Quality Metrics for DCT-Based Video Compression

S. H. Oguz, A. Faibish, S. Faibish, G. Cotter

In this paper, three objective image quality metrics are introduced. These metrics are designed to quantify the severity of the three major types of artifacts associated with block-DCT-based image/video compression schemes, in a manner compatible with HVS. Experimental results from some commercially available encoding applications are reported in a vendor transparent manner, to illustrate the practical usefulness of the proposed metrics to assess compressed image quality aside from their theoretical significance.
