| Summary: | No-reference video quality assessment (NR-VQA) has piqued the scientific community’s interest throughout the last few decades, owing to its importance in human-centered interfaces. The goal of NR-VQA is to predict the perceptual quality of digital videos without any information about their distortion-free counterparts. Over the past few decades, NR-VQA has become a very popular research topic due to the spread of multimedia content and video databases. For successful video quality evaluation, creating an effective video representation from the original video is a crucial step. In this paper, we propose a powerful feature vector for NR-VQA inspired by Benford’s law. Specifically, it is demonstrated that first-digit distributions extracted from different transform domains of the video volume data are quality-aware features and can be effectively mapped onto perceptual quality scores. Extensive experiments were carried out on two large, authentically distorted VQA benchmark databases. |
