The objective difference grade (ODG) is calculated by perceptual evaluation of the audio quality algorithm specified in ITU BS.1387-1.(PEAQ) It corresponds to the subjective difference grade used in human-based audio tests. The ODG ranges from 0 to −4 and is defined as follows:
| Impairment description | ITU-R Grade | ODG |
|---|---|---|
| Imperceptible | 5.0 | 0.0 |
| Perceptible, but not annoying | 4.0 | −1.0 |
| Slightly annoying | 3.0 | −2.0 |
| Annoying | 2.0 | −3.0 |
| Very annoying | 1.0 | −4.0 |
Famous quotes containing the words objective, difference and/or grade:
“Children should know there are limits to family finances or they will confuse “we can’t afford that” with “they don’t want me to have it.” The first statement is a realistic and objective assessment of a situation, while the other carries an emotional message.”
—Jean Ross Peterson (20th century)
“There is only one difference between a madman and me. I am not mad.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
“Ideas are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around, and nearly every book represents what my son’s third grade teacher refers to as a “teachable moment.””
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
