Abstract: In order to increase the prediction accuracy and generality of video quality assessment, a no-reference video quality assessment method based on distortion estimation is proposed. In this method, first, the local distortion is calculated using the statistical characteristics of the difference between contiguous pixels and the global distortion is calculated by measuring the detail loss of the video after Gaussian Filtering; then, the video distortion is estimated by the combination of the local and global distortions. Second, the video complexity is calculated through intra and inter frame prediction. Finally, the objective video quality is obtained utilizing both the video distortion and complexity. Experiment results show that using the proposed method can achieve better accuracy and generality compared with other methods.

Key words: communication, distortion, video complexity, no-reference video quality assessment
