ASSESSMENT OF TV IMAGES QUALITY ATTRIBUTES
Abstract
The results of studies on the evaluation criteria of image quality (IQA). Application of IQA include areas such as machine vision, medical imaging, multimedia communication, entertainment and other types of image processing operations. Systems where embedded algorithms can replace IQA people for evaluation of image quality in real time are in high demand. Like most of the images, observers consider TV images; the best method for evaluating the image quality is a subjective test. Nevertheless, road tests subjective, time consuming and difficult to perform in real time applications. The article analyzes the objective quality indicators, taking into account the properties of the viewReferences
