Translation of Perceived Video Quality Across Displays

Display devices can affect the perceived quality of a video significantly. In this paper, we focus on the scenario where video resolution does not exceed screen resolution, and investigate the relationship of perceived video quality on mobile, laptop and TV. A novel transformation of Mean Opinion Scores (MOS) among different devices is proposed and is shown to be effective at normalizing ratings across user devices for in lab and crowd sourced subjective studies. The model allows us to perform more focused in lab subjective studies as we can reduce the number of test devices and helps us reduce noise during crowd-sourcing subjective video quality tests. It is also more effective than utilizing existing device dependent objective metrics for translating MOS ratings across devices.
