Objective Difference Grade

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:

    In what does the objective measure of value lie? In the quantum of enhanced and organized power alone, in accordance with what occurs in all occurrence, a will to increase.
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    The difference between people isn’t in their class, but in themselves. Only from the middle classes one gets ideas, and from the common people—life itself, warmth. You feel their hates and loves.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    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)
