Video analysis
Video Quality Estimator
Video Quality measurement tool designed to compare quality of encoded streams based on objective metrics, such as PSNR, APSNR, SSIM, DELTA, MSE, MSAD, VQM, NQI, VMAF and VMAF phone, VIF.
Compare two encoder versions
Use general streams parameters, 11 video quality metrics and visually compare frames or separate blocks of the stream
Optimize your encoder
Analyze the quality of encoded video against referenced RAW stream and identify the code portion causing the quality change
Key Features
Calculation of quality metrics: PSNR, APSNR, MSAD, MSE, SSIM, DELTA, VQM,NQI, VMAF and VMAF phone, VIF
Visual comparison of frames difference in Compare, PSNR, PSNR Clip, Temperature, Subtraction, Horizontal and Vertical split modes
Simultaneous metric calculation in 5 files
Display of essential statistics of encoded streams
Selection of ROI (region of interest) for metrics calculation
Automatic selection of the similar first frame in streams for analysis synchronization
Switching between BT.601, BT.709, BT.2020 color gamut presentation
Synchronization between applications of Elecard StreamEye Studio set (Binding mode)
Display of comparison results in graphs: metrics, quantizer, frame size, bit allocation etc.
Upsamplers little/big endian selection for uncompressed video sequences
Possibility to choose output YUV data format when saving decoded information
Automation through Command Line Interface
Saving data into CSV or JSON files
Video Quality Estimator is a part of StreamEye StudioElecard StreamEye Studio includes 4 separate stand-alone applications and command line tools for all-around video analysis.
