- Abstract
- Several scaling methods are used to quantify the perceptual quality of television images. One method used is the double-stimulus continuous quality scale recommended in CCIR Rec. 500-4. In this method a graphical scale is divided into five intervals with which quality terms are associated. The aim of the research discussed in this article was to quantify the perceived distances between a number of Dutch-language terms, including the translated CCIR terms, that are used to describe the perceived quality of television images. It is shown that the translated CCIR quality terms do not divide the quality scale into intervals of equal sizes. Also, in view of the large standard deviations of the average positions of the quality terms, it is concluded that a graphical scale divided into intervals with which quality terms are associated cannot be used as an interval scale. This implies that numerical processing of scores (such as averaging) is highly questionable. A 10-term ordinal scale is proposed when an indication of the absolute quality of display systems is needed.

bio
Kees Teunissen is with the Institute for Perception Research (IPO), Eindhoven, The Netherlands. Teunissen studied at the Poly-Technical School in Dordrecht, The Netherlands. In 1987 he joined the Vision group of the IPO, where he has worked together with Dr. Joyce H. D. M. Westerink on image quality issues of complex moving images, such as sharpness and disintegration. Since 1992 he has worked as a researcher in the field of image perception, his main interest being establishing relations between objective luminance contrast and its perceptual counterpart, i.e., brightness contrast. Teunissen has been a participant in various European projects, including Eureka 95 HDTV, PALplus, and a current project called ADONIS (Advanced Description of New Imaging Systems). Several of his articles have appeared in the Proceedings of the SPIE, Eurodisplay, Perception , and Displays , as well as the SMPTE Journal . His most recent paper, co-authored with Dr. Westerink, “A Multidimensional Evaluation of the Perceptual Quality of Television Sets, ” was published in the January 1996 issue of the Journal. - Copyright
