4 Genista Optimacy Metrics Metric Unit Description Relative Absolute Video Quality Metrics Blockiness % Perceptual measure of the block structure that is common to all DCT-based video compression techniques. Blur % Perceptual measure of the loss of fine detail and the smearing of edges in the video. It is typically caused by a high-frequency attenuation at some stage of the recording or encoding process. Jerkiness % Perceptual measure of frozen pictures or motion that does not look smooth. Can be caused by network congestion, packet loss, frames dropped by the encoder, or reduced frame rate. Objective MOS 1 to 5 Objective measure of the overall quality of the test video on a scale of 1 (Bad) to 5 (Excellent). Noise % Perceptual measure of the test video when it deviates from the reference most noticeably in smooth regions and around edges (edge noise). This can arise from noisy acquisition, the compression algorithm, or transmission errors. Flicker % Perceptual measure of temporal effects seen when digital video is watermarked. Colorfulness % Objective measure of color saturation loss. Color PSNR db Peak signal to noise ratio (including color), using perceptually uniform differences. Image Quality Metrics Blockiness % Perceptual measure of the block structure that is common to all DCT-based image compression techniques Blur % Perceptual measure of the loss of fine detail and the smearing of edges in the image. It is typically caused by a high-frequency attenuation at some stage of the recording or encoding process. Objective MOS 1 to 5 Objective measure of the overall quality of the test image on a scale of 1 (Bad) to 5 (Excellent). Noise % Perceptual measure of the test image when it deviates from the reference most noticeably in smooth regions and around edges (edge noise). This can arise from noisy acquisition, the compression algorithm, or transmission errors. Colorfulness % Objective measure of color saturation loss. Color PSNR db Peak signal to noise ratio in db (including color), using perceptually uniform differences. Audio Quality Metrics Bandwidth Hz a Estimates the mean bandwidth of the audio clip. Loudness Sone b Loudness is a measure of how loud a sound is perceived. It depends on the amplitude of the waveform, bandwidth, temporal masking, and frequency masking. Objective MOS 1 to 5 Mean Opinion Score averaged over the entire audio clip. This value ranges from 1 (bad) to 5 (good) is meant to reproduce the results of human subjective tests on overall audio quality. NMR c Noise-Mask Ratio measures the level difference between the masked threshold and the noise signal. The lower the NMR is, the less degraded the signal under test. IAN Binary Instantaneous Audible Distortion. This binary flag indicates whether the noise in an audio segment is audible. Noise Loudness Sone Noise is the differences between the test signal and the reference signal. How loud is it? a. A CD sampled at 44.1 KHz has a maximum bandwidth of KHz b. The Loudness metric assumes that you will play back the audio at 92 db SPL. The Loudness that you will subjectively perceive for a1 KHz full scale (16- bit amplitude of 32767) tone is 29.5 sones c. This a dimensionless ratio.

8 Genista SDK DLL. Third-party application programs use this DLL file to access the functions provided by Genista SDK. There are two principal classes inside the Genista SDK: a Media Handler Wrapper and a Media Analyzer Wrapper. The Media Handler Wrapper is a class that provides media player functions like open media stream, play, pause, resume, and stop. The modular design of Genista SDK architecture allows third-party developers to provide their own wrappers for media handlers. Media Analyzer Wrapper provides access to audio and video metrics. Video Metrics. Table 1 provides a list of Video Metrics in the Genista SDK and their output data structures. A DLL file makes all the Video Metrics available to the third-party application software via the Genista SDK. TABLE 1.

It is a real-time, nonintrusive, in-service software tool that can fit anywhere in the content production and delivery chain. Genista Agent comes as a software package containing three pieces: the Agent itself, a Test Client (TC), and a Watchdog. The package provides a broad set of metrics and parameters that work together to provide a robust and accurate procedure for measuring the end-user experience of media streams. The Agent. Genista delivers the Agent as a stand-alone executable program under Microsoft Windows 2000/ XP. It is designed for integration into third-party solutions and OEMs. In an integrated solution, it listens for commands sent by a controlling test client (TC) on an assigned IP address and port number. The Test Client. Genista provides a sample test client to support the integration of Genista Agent into third-party solutions. The TC serves as a reference for OEM developers to setup their own control and interface software for using the Genista Agent within their applications. The full source code for the TC is included in the Genista Agent package. The Watchdog. Genista also provides a Watchdog in the form of a windowless, stand-alone executable. This application keeps track of the Agent and can be started from the command line or launched as a service at startup. It ensures the stability of the measurement process and eases the integration effort for OEM developers. The Watchdog launches the Agent when requested by the TC, checks at regular intervals if the Agent process is still alive and responding, and confirms that all required media players are indeed installed on the computer. In other respects, the Watchdog has no active control over the Agent, or the TC, and has a passive function throughout the measurement session. Copyright 2005 Genista Corporation.
