A No-Reference Autoencoder Video Quality Metric

In this work, we introduce the No-reference Autoencoder VidEo (NAVE) quality metric, which is based on a deep au-toencoder machine learning technique. The metric uses a set of spatial and temporal features to estimate the overall visual quality, taking advantage of the autoencoder ability to produce a better and more compact set of features. NAVE was tested on two databases: the UnB-AVQ database and the LiveNetflix-II database. Results show that the method is able to estimate the perceived video quality with a good correlation performance and a small error, when compared to currently available no-reference and full-reference video quality objective metrics.
