Digital Video Image Quality and Perceptual Coding

This book addresses the issue of human visual system (HVS)-based perceptual quantitative quality metrics for digitally coded image and video as well as the issue of perceptual image and video coding. Introducing basic techniques, the text presents standard and popular coding structures, gives a classification and analysis of various coding artifacts, and provides performance measures. It further discusses subjective assessment methods, quantitative quality metrics, and test criteria. There is additional coverage on HVS-based digital image and video coder designs. The authors also highlight challenges facing future research. Instructors wishing to use this work as a textbook can download a presentation of 786 slides in PDF format.
