Abstract
Spatial distortion (i.e., when a frame is viewed independently of other frames in a video sequence) may be quite different from temporal distortion (i.e., when frames are viewed continuously). To estimate temporal distortion, a sliding window approach is used. Specifically, multiple sliding windows around a current frame are considered. Within each sliding window, a large distortion density is calculated and a sliding window with the highest large distortion density is selected. A distance between the current frame and the closest frame with large distortion in the selected window is calculated. Subsequently, the temporal distortion is estimated as a function of the highest large distortion ratio, the spatial distortion for the current frame, and the distance. In another embodiment, a median of spatial distortion values is calculated for each sliding window and the maximum of median spatial distortion values is used to estimate the temporal distortion.
