31 December 2012 will be the end of terrestrial analog broadcasting. Digital broadcasting will begin. The picture quality on analog broadcasting, was not a problem. but, In digital broadcasting, is a problem. Service for streaming on the digital broadcasting MPEG video compression. And the content is added block noise. These block noise measured by people's eyes. but, people's eyes is subjective. In this paper, the on-reference methods to detect block noise. And detected by measuring the distribution of block noise, to quantify the levels of block-noise. With this study, block noise by visual inspection using an automated tool, by being objective measure of information and communication will contribute to the development of the video.

In this paper, a no-reference perceptual metric is proposed for image quality assessment. It measures the amount of overall blockiness and blurring of the image and evaluates the amount of ringing, staircase, and mosaic noises around the strong edges. Finally, the individual scores are combined by a fuzzy integral to generate the final quality score of the image. The quality scores obtained by the proposed algorithm show strong relationship with the MOS(Mean Opinion Score) values by experts.
