Test Motion Pictures for Subjective Evaluation of Bit-Rate Reduction Coding

Hitomi Murakami, Takao Shimizu, Hideo Yamamoto

This article presents a set of test motion pictures for subjective evaluation of bit-rate reduction coding, such as interfield or interframe coding, which eliminates both spatial and temporal redundancy. The pictures cover the full range of still-to-violent motion, camera panning or zooming, and scene changes, under various conditions of brightness, contrast, texture, and coloring. Pictures utilizing some digital video effects are also included. The relationship between the content of the test motion pictures and the performance of bit-rate reduction coding is examined.
