Abstract

A video quality estimation apparatus used for an encoded video, to estimate a video quality value being a value quantifying a video quality being quality of the video felt by a user when viewing and listening to the video. The apparatus includes a maximum value calculator to calculate a maximum value of the video quality value from a resolution of the video and a frame rate of the video, and a video quality calculator to calculate an estimated video quality value corresponding to an encoding bit rate having been input, based on a predetermined relationship between the encoding bit rate of the video and the video quality value. The predetermined relationship is a relationship in which the video quality value increases while the encoding bit rate increases, and the video quality value converges on the maximum value calculated by the maximum value calculator.
