Video temporal perception characteristics based just noticeable difference model by Yafen1 XING, Haibing YIN, Hongkui WANG, Qionghua LUO

“…., which were used to characterize the temporal characteristics.Probability density functions for these feature parameters in the perception sense according to the HVS(human visual system) characteristics were proposed, and uniformly mapping the heterogeneous feature parameters to the scales of self-information and information entropy to achieve a homogeneous fusion measurement.The coupling method of visual attention and masking was explored from the perspective of energy distribution, and the temporal-domain JND weight model was constructed accordingly.On the basis of the spatial JND threshold, the temporal domain weights was integrated to develop a more accurate spatial-temporal JND model.In order to evaluate the performance of the spatiotemporal JND model, a subjective quality evaluation experiment was conducted.Experimental results justify the effectiveness of the proposed model.…”
