Abstract
In various embodiments, a tunable VMAF application reduces an amount of influence that image enhancement operations have on perceptual video quality estimates. In operation, the tunable VMAF application computes a first value for a first visual quality metric based on reconstructed video content and a first enhancement gain limit. The tunable VMAF application computes a second value for a second visual quality metric based on the reconstructed video content and a second enhancement gain limit. Subsequently, the tunable VMAF application generates a feature value vector based on the first value for the first visual quality metric and the second value for the second visual quality metric. The tunable VMAF application executes a VMAF model based on the feature value vector to generate a tuned VMAF score that accounts, at least in part, for at least one image enhancement operation used to generate the reconstructed video content.
