ABSTRACT:
A first characteristic value extracting unit extracts a characteristic value from a picture transmitted from a transmission side, and a second characteristic value extracting unit extracts a characteristic value from a picture received on a reception side. These extracted characteristic values are supplied to a central monitoring unit through low speed lines, respectively. In the central monitoring unit, an MSE (mean square error) is assessed from the data by an MSE assessing unit. The first and second characteristic value extracting units divide an input picture into blocks, subject the blocks to an orthogonal transformation, or subject the blocks to PN sequence multiplication before the orthogonal transformation, and extract and output orthogonal transformation coefficients. The MSE assessing unit determines the differences between corresponding coefficients on the transmission side and the reception side and squares the differences, adds the squared differences for every coefficients or every blocks, and assess an MSE based on the added values referred to a table. With this operation, the MSE can be effectively assessed using a smaller amount of extracted data (accordingly, slower speed lines can be used in the central monitoring unit).
