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)
“Whatever we have got has been by infinite labour, and search, and ranging through every corner of nature; the difference is that instead of dirt and poison, we have rather chosen to fill our hives with honey and wax, thus furnishing mankind with the two noblest of things, which are sweetness and light.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“Life begins at six—at least in the minds of six-year-olds. . . . In kindergarten you are the baby. In first grade you put down the baby. . . . Every first grader knows in some osmotic way that this is real life. . . . First grade is the first step on the way to a place in the grown-up world.”
—Stella Chess (20th century)
