Abstract
A method and system for determining blur in digital video due to high quantization adopted during encoding of an image. The image is preprocessed to filter the noise and an edge image is extracted from the preprocessed image. A gradient sign change is determined for each pixel of the edge image. A ringing metric is determined based on the gradient magnitude and the gradient sign change. Further, a blockiness metric is determined based on a block grid periodicity and offset that is determined based on block grid analysis of the edge image. Further, a perceptual blurriness metric is determined using a mean and kurtosis computed based on a gradient histogram analysis of the block grid analysed edge image. A composite blurring metric is determined based on the blockiness metric, the perceptual blurriness metric, and ringing metric.
