Abstract

In this article an algorithm for the evaluation of the picture quality of H.264-coded video sequences is introduced. As a measure of picture quality the peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) is used. While the computation of the PSNR usually considers a reference signal in comparison to the distorted video sequence, the proposed algorithm uses the coded transform coefficients to estimate the PSNR in a statistical maimer. Thus, no reference signal is needed.
