Investigation of the effectiveness of video quality metrics in video pre-processing
This paper presents an investigation of the effectiveness of current video quality measurement metrics in measuring variations in perceptual video quality of pre-processed video. The results show that full-reference video quality metrics are not effective in detecting variations in perceptual video quality. However, no reference metrics show better performance when compared to full reference metrics, particularly, Naturalness Image Quality Evaluator (NIQE) is notably better at detecting perceptual quality variations.
