Abstract
A method for determining objectively a visual quality index of at least one high dynamic range video sequence, referred to as an HDR sequence, distorted by image processing operations and issued from a reference high dynamic range video sequence, referred to a reference sequence or a reference HDR sequence. The method is based on signal pre-processing, transformation, and subsequent frequency based decomposition. Video quality is then computed based on a spatio-temporal analysis that relates to human eye fixation behavior during video viewing. One advantage of this method is that it does not involve expensive computations.
