Temporal inconsistency measure for video quality assessment
Visual quality assessment plays a crucial role in many vision-related signal processing applications. In the literature, more efforts have been spent on spatial visual quality measure. Although a large number of video quality metrics have been proposed, the methods to use temporal information for quality assessment are less diversified. In this paper, we propose a novel method to measure the temporal impairments. The proposed method can be incorporated into any image quality metric to extend it into a video quality metric. Moreover, it is easy to apply the proposed method in video coding system to incorporate with MSE for rate-distortion optimization.
