Abstract
To represent high quality videos or images with low bit rate, an effective compression algorithm removes the redundancy because of statistical correlation and also the insignificant component of image signal. This paper represents a new algorithm to measure the blocking artifacts of videos by analyzing the distortions of local properties of image signals like dominant edge magnitude and direction. Extensive experiments on various videos show that the new algorithm is very much efficient and faster to measure the blocking artifacts in real time video error detection applications.
