Modelado de calidad percibida de video en televisión digital abierta

Abstract

In this master’s thesis Video Quality Assessment state of the art is reached. Different full reference (FR), reduced reference (RR) and no reference (NR) objective video quality estimation models, previously proposed by the research group, by the academic community or standardized by international organizations, are evaluated and analyzed. Their performance is compared by contrasting their results with ones obtained through subjective video quality evaluations. The ISDB-Tb standard of free-to-air Digital Television (DTV) is deepened, from the point of view of the correct reception and visualization of the DTV signal. Finally, this work contains specific contributions in the area of objective video quality assessment with application in DTV. In this thesis it is proposed and evaluated a new method that combines FR and NR objective models to perform the perceived video quality prediction in real time for the DTV signal. This new approach is based on modern video quality evaluation techniques under a DTV monitoring system with receiver nodes geographically distributed in the coverage area of a DTV station.
