Summary

Recommendation ITU-T J.144 provides guidelines on the selection of appropriate objective perceptual video quality measurement equipment designed for use in digital cable television applications when the full reference video signal is available. The validation test material did not contain channel errors. This Recommendation defines objective computational models that have been shown to be superior to peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR) as automatic measurement tools for assessing the quality of video.

This revised Recommendation includes four objective methods for the assessment of perceptual video quality in the normative section.
