Objective Video Quality Model Standards
This page identifies national and international standards associated with objective video quality models developed by ITS. Below that is a listing of other objective video quality models that ITS helped to validate and standardize.
The following objective video quality metrics (VQM) were developed by ITS, validated, and standardized:
- NTIA General Model (aka VQM) and Full Reference Calibration
- Fast Low Bandwidth Model and Reduced Reference Calibration
- A version of Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) that includes ideal calibration values
ITS actively supports the Video Quality Experts Group (VQEG) work to validate other organization's objective video quality models. The following ITU Recommendations have resulted in part from ITS' efforts on behalf of the VQEG Independent Lab Group (ILG):
- ITU-T Rec. J.247 (2008) "Objective perceptual multimedia video quality measurement in the presence of a full reference"
- ITU-T Rec. J.246 (2008) "Perceptual visual quality measurement techniques for multimedia services over digital cable television networks in the presence of a reduced bandwidth reference"
- ITU-R Rec. BT.1866, (2010) "Objective perceptual visual quality measurement techniques for broadcasting applications using low definition television in the presence of a full reference signal"
- ITU-R Rec. BT.1867, (2010) "Objective perceptual visual quality measurement techniques for broadcasting applications using low definition television in the presence of a reduced bandwidth reference"
- ITU-T Rec. J.341 (2011), "Objective perceptual multimedia video quality measurement of HDTV for digital cable television in the presence of a full reference"
- ITU-T Rec. 342 (2011), "Objective multimedia video quality measurement of HDTV for digital cable television in the presence of a reduced reference signal"
