Blur determination in the compressed domain using DCT information
Abstract
The paper presents a simple yet robust measure of image quality in terms of global (camera) blur. It is based on histogram computation of non-zero DCT coefficients. The technique is directly applicable to images and video frames in compressed (MPEG or JPEG) domain and to all types of MPEG frames (I-, P- or B-frames). The resulting quality measure is proved to be in concordance with subjective testing and is therefore suitable for quick qualitative characterization of images and video frames.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
