Abstract

This paper is a technical report, presenting a survey on the state-of-the-art methods for objective video quality assessment in recognition tasks. It bases on the most up-to-date solutions, developed by various research teams. The study considers, among others, solutions developed by the AGH University research team, including the contributions to ITU-T Recommendation P.912 (dealing with video quality assessment methods for recognition tasks) as well as the video quality indicators (available at http://vq.kt.agh.edu.pl/). In particular, we consider evaluation metrics based on a trade-off between computer vision performance and compression efficiency.
