Quantifying the amount of spatial and temporal information in video test sequences

In case of compressed video quality assessment, the selection of test scenes is an important issue. So far there was only one conception for evaluation the level of scene complication. It was given in International Telecommunication Union recommendations and was broadly used. Authors investigated features of recommended parameters. The paper presents the incompatibility of those parameters with human perception that was discovered and gives a proposal of modification in algorithm, which improves accordance of parameters with observers’ opinion.
