Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for evaluating the resulting image quality of compression of motion videos as an input to controlling the degree of compression. A device to compress motion video includes a compressor to compress a first uncompressed frame of a motion video to generate a first compressed frame of the motion video for a viewing device having at least one viewing characteristic, and a mean opinion score (MOS) estimator to combine a structural metric of image quality of the first compressed frame and an opinion metric of image quality associated with the at least one viewing characteristic to determine whether to alter a quantization parameter (QP) of the compressor to compress a second uncompressed frame of the motion video. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
