Video quality assessment accounting for temporal visual masking of local flicker

作者:

Highlights:

• We propose a VQA model that accounts for temporal visual masking of local flicker.

• We investigate the nature of flicker and motion silencing in digital videos.

• We devise a perceptual flicker visibility index that captures masked flicker.

• FS-MOVIE incorporates a sophisticated flicker masking mechanism.

• FS-MOVIE significantly improves VQA performance.
