Optimal presentation duration for video quality assessment

Video content distributors, codec developers and researchers in related fields often rely on subjective assessments to ensure that their video processing procedures result in satisfactory quality. The current 10-second recommendation for the length of test sequences in subjective video quality assessment studies, however, has recently been questioned. Not only do sequences of this length depart from modern cinematic shooting styles, the use of shorter sequences would enable substantial efficiency improvements to the data collection process. This project, therefore, aims to explore the impact upon viewer rating behaviour of using different length video sequences and the consequent savings that could be made in time, labour and money .
