Video Quality Control Using a ROI and Two- Component Weighted Metrics

In this paper we propose a new content-weighted
method for full reference (FR) video quality control using a region of
interest (ROI) and wherein two-component weighted metrics for Deaf
People Video Communication. In our approach, an image is
partitioned into region of interest and into region "dry-as-dust", then
region of interest is partitioned into two parts: edges and background
(smooth regions), while the another methods (metrics) combined and
weighted three or more parts as edges, edges errors, texture, smooth
regions, blur, block distance etc. as we proposed. Using another idea
that different image regions from deaf people video communication
have different perceptual significance relative to quality. Intensity
edges certainly contain considerable image information and are
perceptually significant.
