Video Quality Metric Software
Margaret H. Pinson 
and Stephen Wolf
Abstract:
The Video Quality Metric (VQM) software was developed by ITS between 2002 and 2010. The VQM algorithms estimate how people perceive video quality. These VQM algorithms compare the processed video (output) with the original video (input). These models are suitable for use when the original video is good quality or better. Quality problems from the camera and original production are not considered. The VQM tools are available free of charge for any commercial or non-commercial use from the NTIA GitHub Repositories.
