Abstract: This paper discusses the relative importance of various perceptual attributes in overall perceived picture quality while using some current television sets. The experiments included six 28-in. television sets varying in spatial resolution, color reproduction, peak luminance, and luminance contrast. Observers were asked to judge 15 perceptual attributes on the television sets using a 10-point categorical scale. Multidimensional scaling procedures were applied to the data in order to find clusters of attributes and to obtain a graphical representation of the results. Relating to the physical changes as applied in this experiment, it was found that color rendering was the most important factor in the comparison, favoring a more reddish color setting, followed by perceived sharpness. When subjects do not like the color rendition of a television set, other differences between the sets are not considered relevant by them unless these differences are substantial. Thus, the relationships between average scores found for the quality-related attributes and physical quantities as measured on the television sets were influenced by perceived color differences between the sets.

bio
Kees Teunissen 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. He 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.

bio
Joyce H.D.M. Westerink Joyce H.D.M. Westerink joined the IPO in 1985, after receiving a M.Sc. degree in physics from Utrecht State University. Her initial interest concerned the influence of imaging parameters and bandwidth reduction schemes on the perceived image quality of complex scenes. After receiving her Ph.D. in 1991, Dr. Westerink expanded her activities to include user-system communication, especially concerning user interfaces of information systems. Her main areas of interest are navigation through and visual representation of information structures. Several of her articles have appeared in various publications, including the SMPTE Journal.
