Algorithm description

Metric depends only on difference of original and distorted, and more preciesly, only on -norm of this difference (see MSE). Unlike MSE, metric has logrithmic scale and can be calculated using the following formula:

where MaxErr - maximum possible absolute value of color component (MaxErr=1 in VQMT), w - video width, h - video height.

Total PSNR is aggregated value, that considers all processed frames as a single huge image and then calculates PSNR. Total PSNR takes into account sum suqared distortion on all frames, and doesn't distinguish situation where all distorion on one frame from situation where it is distributed across all frames. While arithmetic mean aggregated value depends from geometric mean of MSE's of each frames, Total PSNR depends on arithmetic mean of them.

In MSU VQMT you can calculate PSNR for all YUV and RGB components and for L component of LUV color space. Also, since VQMT 12 you can calculate over all YUV space or all RGB space, achieving a single value for 3 components. PSNR metric is easy and fast to calculate, but sometimes it is not appropriate to human's perception.

Algorithm description

VMAF is modern reference metric developed by Netflix in cooperation with the University of Southern California. VQMT has full support of VMAF with multiple configuration switches. MSU VQMT support the following VMAF models: VMAF 0.60, VMAF 0.61 (2k, 4k), VMAF 0.62 (2k, 4k), VMAF 0.63 (2k), also, you can compute phone model and elementary features of VMAF. You can use custom model in pkl format with VQMT.

VMAF consist of 4 features (ADM, VIF, Motion, ANSNR) and 35 elementary features, but VMAF models uses only 6 of them: adm2, motion2, vif_scale0, vif_scale1, vif_scale2, vif_scale3. VMAF applies an SVM model to this set of features, which depends on current settings. After applying SVM, the value is clipped to interval 0..100 by default. Motion feature is the only temporal feature, it consider adjacent frames. To calculate VMAF value for current frame it is needed to use the previous frame and the next frame.

VMAF can also compute confidence intervals by applying multiple models and calculating standard deviation of result. VMAF has models, that aimed for 4k and 2k. By default, VQMT will automatically select the correct model by the resolution of input video.

Since VQMT 13 VMAF has a real block-wise visualization, which computes individual VMAF value for each 16x16 block of image. You also can visualize every feature besides motion (ADM, VIF, ANSNR).

Algorithm description

NIQE performs feature extraction for every 96x96 block of image on 2 scales. Than it computes correlations of features between all blocks and applies leaned model. For more details, please refer to original paper. Since version 13 VQMT can build a block-wise visualization showing contribution of each block to the final result.

This metric has a special aggregated value NIQE mean, it takes a weighted mean filtering abnormal metric values and taking suspicies values with low weight. You can turn this mode using metric settings. Also, please see our paper.

This metric only applicable to filmed scenes. Metric can produce inadequate result if some graphics is on it (including credits, subtitles, etc.). Please, run NIQE excluding all rendered scenes, they can fatally spoil average value. Also, this metric can produce bad result on scenes containing noisy objects, like sand or grass, however on scenes with big constant areas, like monotonic sky. In common case normal metric results lies in the interval 3..20.

Sometimes, metric shows better result for the compressed image and this correlates with human perception. Compressed image not always is perceived as worse. It can occur for example in case of noisy images (if the noise has non-compression nature). This is only metric in VQMT now that can detect increasing of subjective quality in comparison to original.

Sometimes, codec can allow geometry transformation (like shift of heterogeneous objects in frame), that not critical for subjective perception. Objective-reference metrics are very perceptive to such transformation, and in this cases no-reference metric can show result closer to subjective score.

Algorithm description

Main idea of the structure similarity index (SSIM) is to compare distortion of three image components:

This algorithm uses some window function , and performs convolution with this window, defined as follows:

In fast implementation, it uses box window: , in other implementations (precise, CUDA, OpenCL, GPU identical) it uses Gaussian window with σ= 1.5, N=10. You can note, that formula above uses negative indexes, and indexes out of image area. We should define image values outside of it's edge. In VQMT we spread closest edge pixel to the desired position.

SSIM uses the following convolutions:

And the computed SSIM in each pixel by the following formula:

where , . Destination metric value is arithmetic mean of SSIM values for each pixel. You also can see SSIM for each individual pixel on visualization.

GPU identical, CUDA, OpenCL implementations should produce very similar result. They use Gaussian window as presice implementation. Value of Presice implementation can differs from these ones.

Algorithm description

3-Component SSIM Index based on region division of source frames. There are 3 types of regions - edges, textures and smooth regions. Result metric calculated as weighted average of SSIM metric for those regions. In fact, human eye can see difference more precisely on textured or edge regions than on smooth regions. Division based on gradient magnitude is presented in every pixel of images.

Spatio-Temporal SSIM Index

General info

Metric type:
full-reference temporal metric
MSU VQMT implementations:
this metric was temporary excluded from VQMT due to unstability of results
External links:
original paper (A. K. Moorthy and A. C. Bovik)

Algorithm description

The idea of this algorithm is to use motion-oriented weighted windows for SSIM Index. MSU Motion Estimation algorithm is used to retrieve this information. Based on the ME results, weighting window is constructed for every pixel. This window can use up to 33 consecutive frames (16 + current frame + 16). Then SSIM Index is calculated for every window to take into account temporal distortions as well. In addition, another spooling technique is used in this implementation. We use only lower 6% of metric values for the frame to calculate frame metric value. This causes larger metric values difference for difference files.

Legacy notes

This metric was temporary removed in VQMT 10.

Algorithm description

This metric has very similar formula to Delta, but has a modulo around the difference:

where - video width, - video height, image data are in range 0..1. Metric depends only on difference of original and distorted, it is -norm of this difference.

Unlike Delta, this metric will show real difference between images, 0 means completely equivalent images.

MSU Time shift

General info

Metric type:
full-reference temporal metric
Value range:
depending on settings
Value interpretation:
Metric value is shift in frames of distorted sequence relative to original. If n-th value is x, then n+x'th frame of distorted corresponds to n'th frame of original
MSU VQMT implementations:
CPU multithreaded
MSU VQMT visualization:
block-wise
Available colorspaces:
Y
Output values:
metric value
multiple individual measument results if on
Aggregated values:
standard set
MSU VQMT usages:
-metr time-shift

Algorithm description

This metric performes calculation of another metric (base metric: PSNR or SSIM) between each frame of original image and several frames of distorted image. You can choose what interval will be used in settings. This metric can detect such artifacts as skipped frame, duplicated frame, small fps mismatch.

Metric considers, that the best metric value for specific original frame is the correct shift. Metric can prefer smaller shift with base metric value X to bigger shift with metric value Y if , where threshold can be set in metric settings. This helps to avoid random fluctuations.

Also, values of base metric will be smothed over adjacent frames if smoothing is on. This can help in case of very there are very similar adjacent frames in seuqence or the desired frame is absent (for example, negative shift on first frame).
