ITU-R BT.1907-0 PDF

This Recommendation specifies methods for estimating the perceived video quality of broadcasting applications using HDTV when a full reference signal is available.

The ITU Radiocommunication Assembly,

considering

a) that the ability to automatically measure the quality of broadcast video has long been recognized as a valuable asset to the industry;

b) that Recommendation ITU-R BT.1683 describes objective methods for measuring the perceived video quality of standard definition digital broadcast television in the presence of a full reference;

c) that Recommendation ITU-R BT.709 describes parameter values for the HDTV standards for production and international programme exchange and Recommendation ITU-R BT.500 describes subjective assessment methods for image quality including high-definition television;

d) that HDTV is becoming widely used in broadcasting;

e) that ITU-T Study Group 9, based on the results of the HDTV report sent by VQEG, has produced Recommendation ITU-T J.341, which specified objective perceptual video quality measurement of HDTV in the presence of a full reference;

f) that objective measurement of the perceived video quality of HDTV may complement subjective assessment methods,

recommends

that the objective video quality model given in Annexes 1, 2 and 3 should be used for objective measurement of perceived video quality for broadcasting applications using HDTV in the presence of a full reference signal.
