ABSTRACT:
The quality of audiovisual material is assessed by measuring the audio an video quality and computing from these a combined measure. Using a parameter indicative of the degree of motion represented by the video, the computation employs one of a plurality of algorithms selected in dependence on the value of the parameter.
