Subjective Video Quality
The main goal of many objective video quality metrics is to automatically estimate average user (viewer) opinion on a quality of video processed by the system. Sometimes however, measurement of subjective video quality can also be challenging because it may require a trained expert to judge it. Many “subjective video quality measurements” are described in ITU-T recommendation BT.500. Their main idea is the same as in Mean Opinion Score for audio: video sequences are shown to the group of viewers and then their opinion is recorded and averaged to evaluate the quality of each video sequence. However, details of testing may vary greatly.

Famous quotes containing the words subjective, video and/or quality:
“Whilst Marx turned the Hegelian dialectic outwards, making it an instrument with which he could interpret the facts of history and so arrive at an objective science which insists on the translation of theory into action, Kierkegaard, on the other hand, turned the same instruments inwards, for the examination of his own soul or psychology, arriving at a subjective philosophy which involved him in the deepest pessimism and despair of action.”
—Sir Herbert Read (1893–1968)
“These people figured video was the Lord’s preferred means of communicating, the screen itself a kind of perpetually burning bush. “He’s in the de-tails,” Sublett had said once. “You gotta watch for Him close.””
—William Gibson (b. 1948)
“The point is, that the function of the novel seems to be changing; it has become an outpost of journalism; we read novels for information about areas of life we don’t know—Nigeria, South Africa, the American army, a coal-mining village, coteries in Chelsea, etc. We read to find out what is going on. One novel in five hundred or a thousand has the quality a novel should have to make it a novel—the quality of philosophy.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
