Spatiotemporal Feature Combination Model for No-Reference Video Quality Assessment

One of the main challenges in no-reference video quality assessment is temporal variation in a video. Methods typically were designed and tested on videos with artificial distortions, without considering spatial and temporal variations simultaneously. We propose a no-reference spatiotemporal feature combination model which extracts spatiotemporal information from a video, and tested it on a database with authentic distortions. Comparing with other methods, our model gave satisfying performance for assessing the quality of natural videos.
