Patent attributes
Described in an example herein is an apparatus that comprises video quality monitoring logic operable to receive data representative of a video stream that includes one or more frames and to produce data representative of an estimated mean opinion score for the video stream. The video quality monitoring logic is operable to determine a scene complexity and a level of motion for the video stream. The video quality monitoring logic is operable to determine a mean square error for frames belonging to the plurality of frames. The video quality monitoring logic is operable to determine the estimated mean opinion score for the video stream based on compression distortion determined from an average of the mean square error for frames belonging to the one or more frames, the scene complexity, the level of motion, and a frame rate for the video stream.
