Video quality assessment using aggregated quality values

An apparatus for video quality assessment using aggregated quality values, the apparatus configured to perform steps comprising:

• calculating, for each frame of a plurality of frames, a corresponding quality value;
• calculating, for each frame of the plurality of frames, based on one or more visual attributes of a frame, a weight for the corresponding quality value of the frame;
• calculating an aggregate quality value for the plurality of frames based on the weight and the corresponding quality value for each frame of the plurality of frames;
• and
• provide an assessment of the plurality of frames based on the aggregate quality value for the plurality of frames.

A method of video quality assessment using aggregated quality values, the method comprising:

• calculating, for each block of a plurality of blocks of a frame, a corresponding quality value;
• calculating, for each block of the plurality of blocks, based on one or more visual attributes of a block, a weight for the corresponding quality value of the block;
• calculating an aggregate quality value for the frame based on the weight and the corresponding quality value for each block for the plurality of blocks;
• and
• provide an assessment based on the aggregate quality value for the frame.
