ITU-R BT.802-1 5ANNEX 3Criteria governing the choice of itemsincluded in the library tapeIn the preparation of subjective assessments, the assessor must ha

27、ve available a variety of scenes than can beconsidered critical but not unduly so, and which are representative in quality and production values with the best oftelevision broadcasting. The level of difficulty may be checked by objective measurements, such as the determination ofthe worst-case diffe

28、rential entropy.Subjective assessments may also consider a range of possible applications and situations making necessary theinclusion of scenes suitable for the evaluation of basic quality, processibility (chroma key, slow-motion, special effects,etc.), error performance and sound/vision synchroniz

29、ation. Tests for consistency of results as between the 525- and 625-line systems would require also that near-identical scenes for both systems be included.A library of test scenes must then be based on the essential following criteria and should include: images at a number of levels of difficulty a

30、nd with different rates and modes of motion including stills; material suitable for contribution and distribution uses; scene pairs suitable for colour matte evaluation; highest quality images with the lowest possible noise levels, but noting the need for some scenes to haveknown amounts of noise ad

31、ded to evaluate certain facets of codec performance; scenes covering a range of programme types; scenes suitable for testing codec performance under normal conditions and in the presence of errors, bothconcealed and unconcealed.It should be noted that because Y, CR, CBsignals can represent a substan

32、tially greater gamut of signal valuesthan can be supported by the corresponding range of R, G, B signals, care should be taken to ensure that sequences forsubjective assessment do not contain pixels with combinations of Y, CR, CBwhich would result in out-of-range R, G, Bvalues.Table 1 describes a li

33、brary of scenes meeting these criteria, which has been assembled in both the 525-line andthe 625-line versions. The scenes were developed by a number of organizations engaged in codec development andevaluation including the Administrations of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and the United King

34、dom.ANNEX 4Compilation of subjective test tapesThe need for a large selection of scenes and for their presentation in a random order for different presentationsprecludes the preparation of a tape suitable for direct use in sessions for subjective evaluation. A better arrangement is toproduce a libra

35、ry tape of the scenes in a format that will allow the assembly of tapes for specific sessions with aminimum of inconvenience by editing between the play back of the library tape and the specific play back medium forthat session. The quality loss in this process can be very small, if the interface be

36、tween machines is in the digital formspecified in Recommendation ITU-R BT.601 and Recommendation ITU-R BT.656.The library tape consists of a leader for technical evaluation, time-code for edit control, an index in video formand a number of scene blocks to be used for evaluation.Scene identification

37、is carried in a caption title located in the video and audio ahead of the actual scene. Scenesmay thus be located visually or by reference to time-code based on addresses from the Index Page at the head of thetape.Scene identification can be carried in time-code and in the longitudinal or digital audio areas of the D1-DTTRformat specified in Recommendation ITU-R BT.657._
