FULL-HD HEVC-ENCODED VIDEO QUALITY ASSESSMENT DATABASE

Abstract : This work presents a large dataset of High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) sequences aimed at creating a reference for researchers involved in video quality research. Ten sequences with different characteristics have been encoded with different parameters, resulting in 59520 videos which have been processed to provide objective quality measurements at frame-level granularity. The ultimate objective is to make this database, which is already publicly available, a reference for researchers involved in designing hybrid video quality measurements, so that it can be used for both investigation and reproduction of results. Besides describing the context and database content, this paper also provides a glimpse on the possible uses of the already available data, as well as the two directions towards which the project is being expanded: incorporating new objective measurements and evaluating quality for corrupted videos with realistic loss traces.
