image quality assessment

In practical media distribution systems, visual content usually undergoes multiple stages of quality degradation along the delivery chain, but the pristine source content is rarely available at most quality monitoring points along the chain to serve as a reference for quality assessment. As a result, full-reference (FR) and reduced-reference (RR) image quality assessment (IQA) methods are generally infeasible. Although no-reference (NR) methods are readily applicable, their performance is often not reliable.

For comparing the performance of IQA methods, a database of confocal endoscopy image obtained in practical imaging conditions is proposed. There are 642 grayscale images with authentic distortion of 1024 × 1024 pixels in the database. Quality of the images were rated by 8 experienced researchers in operation and image processing of confocal endoscopy by the range of 1-5, where 1 denotes the lowest quality and 5 denotes the highest quality. Finally, the MOS of the images was computed by averaging the scores of the researchers.

This is a dataset of 120 error-concealed video clips.  The clips were generated from 6 CIF, 6 HD and 6 Full-HD test video sequences. Each of those sequences was error concealed with 4 Error Concealment (EC) techniques: Motion Copy, Motion Vector Extrapolation, Decoder Motion Vector Estimation (DMVE) + Boundary Matching Algorithm (BMA), and Adaptive Error Concealment Order Determination (AECOD). The dataset also includes the original (loss free) video clips, as well as the subjective ranking of the error-concealed videos.
