Abstract

We examine the effect that variations in the temporal quality of videos have on global video quality. We also propose a general framework for constructing temporal video quality assessment (QA) algorithms that seek to assess transient temporal errors, such as packet losses. The proposed framework modifies simple frame-based quality assessment algorithms by incorporating a temporal quality variance factor. We use packet loss from channel errors as a specific study of practical significance. Using the PSNR and the SSIM index as exemplars, we are able to show that the new video QA algorithms are highly responsive to packet loss errors.
