Popis: The existence of temporal effects and temporal distortions in a video differentiate the way it is assessed from an image. Temporal effects and distortions can enhance or depress the visibility of spatial effects in a video. Thus, the temporal part of videos plays a significant role in determining the video quality. In this study, a spatiotemporal video quality assessment (VQA) method is proposed due to the importance of temporal effects and distortions in assessing video quality. Instead of measuring the frame quality on a frame basis, the quality of several averaged frames is measured. The proposed spatiotemporal VQA method is significantly improved compared with image quality assessment (IQA) methods applied on a frame basis. When combined with IQA methods, the proposed spatiotemporal VQA method has comparable performance with state-of-the-art VQA methods. The computational complexity of the proposed temporal method is also lower when compared with current VQA methods.
