Abstract
In this paper, we proposed an reconstruction algorithm of transmitted frames from displayed image on video terminal. For image quality assessment of the video streaming in the wireless network, we need information of the image that is transmitted to the end-user's device. Generally, subjective methods are widely used to evaluate the image quality by human beings because it is difficult to extract the transmitted image from the end-user's device. This paper presents an image reconstruction algerian based on the displayed image in video terminal for the extraction of the transmitted image. In the proposed method, we acquired the displayed image on video terminal using the camera. Camera-acquired images exhibit geometric and color distortions caused by characteristics of cameras and display devices. Therefore we correct the geometric distortion by exploiting the homography and color distortion by pre-computed look-up table. The experimental results show that the proposed measurement system yields promising estimation performance in terms of PSNR of $27{\sim}28dB$. We also carried out performance evaluation of the proposed method in terms of EPSNR and the quality of the estimated images by the proposed algerian was in fairly good range of MOS test scale.
