Neural network solution for a real-time no-reference video quality assessment of H.264/AVC video bitstreams

The ever-growing video streaming services require accurate quality assessment with often no reference to the original media. One primary challenge in developing no-reference (NR) video quality metrics is achieving real-timeliness while retaining the accuracy. A real-time no-reference video quality assessment (VQA) method is proposed for videos encoded by H.264/AVC codec. Temporal and spatial features are extracted from the encoded bit-stream …
