Abstract

Quality assessment is a very challenging problem and will still as is since it is difficult to define universal tools. So, subjective assessment is one adapted way but it is tedious, time consuming and needs normalized room. Objective metrics can be with reference, with reduced reference and with no-reference. This paper presents a study carried out for the development of a no-reference objective metric dedicated to the quality evaluation of display devices. Initially, a subjective study has been devoted to this problem by asking a representative panel (15 male and 15 female; 10 young adults, 10 adults and 10 seniors) to answer questions regarding their perception of several criteria for quality assessment. These quality factors were hue, saturation, contrast and texture. This aims to define the importance of perceptual criteria in the human judgment of quality. Following the study, the factors that impact the quality evaluation of display devices have been proposed. The development of a no-reference objective metric has been performed by using statistical tools allowing to separate the important axes. This no-reference metric based on perceptual criteria by integrating some specificities of the human visual system (HVS) has a high correlation with the subjective data.
