Abstract

The present invention generally relates to automatic detection of video artifacts. The present invention relates to automatically detect out the images with visible artifacts due to STB decoding error based on a generated artificial edge map. In particular, the application teaches a method to detect out the images with the visible artifacts and how to identify artificial edges from texture (natural) edges. The present system identifies that artificial edges are most significant in local area, while texture edges are often together with some other texture edges.
