Comparison of DSCQS and SSCQE Chulhee Lee Yonsei University
Test Envioroment • Test tapes were made in accordance with the RRTV test plan. • Subjective test using the SSCQE method was performed (23 evaluators, non-expert). • From the test tapes, 64 8-second video sequences were taken and subjective test using the DSCQS was also performed (18 evaluators, non-expert) • Viewing conditions: in accordance with the FRTV and RRTV test plans.
Detailed information for SSCQE • Two 60 minutes tapes (T3, T4) which have the same PVSs in different ordering. • Each 60 minutes tape has two different ordering (T312, T321, T412, T421). • Number of evaluators: 6, 6, 6, 5. • There are always source video sequences (SRCs) in each tape.
Comparison of DSCQS and SSCQE • There are three subjective scores: • DSCQS DMOS: FR_DMOS • SSCQE MOS: RR_MOS • SSCQE DMOS: RR_DMOS • SSCQE_DMOS was obtained by subtracting the score of PVS from the score of the corresponding SRC.
Observations and Comments • The SSCQE method is an interesting method. • However, this preliminary study indicates that there exist differences between DSCQS and SSCQE. • Depending on analyses, the evaluation of models might be different. Thus, there need to be agreements on how to analyze the data before the test plan is finalized. • It is strongly recommended that other laboratories conduct similar comparison studies to better understand the SSCQE method.
Further Comments on SSCQE • Attention issue: It is observed that evaluators do not record a short period of degradation. For instance, they tend to omit blocking artifacts of 1-2 seconds. • Fatigue issue: It appears that 1 hour is too long for SSCQE. • Variable response delay. • Subjective scores tend to be more influenced by context.
