Abstract

The automatic video comparison system for measuring the quality of decoded data described herein provides a method for measuring the quality of decoded data at the level of sub-units of a unit of data, for instance at the level of sub-blocks of a video frame. The system can therefore locate defects that may not otherwise be detected by an automated system that measures quality at the level of the entire frame. Processing encoded media is computationally intensive, thus the automatic video comparison system uses a distributed computing system in order to distribute the computations across many compute resources that are capable of operating in parallel.
