Abstract

Objective quality measures are usually concerned with overall degradation in quality, disregarding impairments and artifacts such as those due to packet loss error concealment. Unfortunately, it is particularly hard to model due to its unpredictable nature and content-dependency. We propose a human perception based no-reference framework utilizing motion-compensated frame interpolation and colour gradients to identify and localize packet loss impaired regions in video frames. The unique and principal contribution of this work is the attempt to mimic the human visual system throughout the process instead of the traditional approach of trying to replicate the mean opinion score.
