In this image, mid-grey represents a difference of zero and light or dark greys correspond to positive and negative differences respectively. The obvious problem with this simple prediction is that a lot of energy remains in the residual frame (indicated by the light and dark areas) and this means that there is still a significant amount of information to compress after temporal prediction. Much of the residual energy is due to object movements between the two frames and a better prediction may be formed by compensating for motion between the two frames.

For a given image or image sequence, high PSNR usually indicates high quality and low PSNR usually indicates low quality. However, a particular value of PSNR does not necessarily equate to an ‘absolute’ subjective quality. 16 in which only the background of the image has been blurred. 7dB relative to the original. 16 because the face is clearer, in opposition to the PSNR rating. 7dB) P1: OTA/XYZ P2: ABC c02 JWBK457-Richardson March 22, 2010 13:47 Printer Name: Yet to Come Video formats and quality 23 quality.

In this case, a human observer gives a higher importance to the face region and so is particularly sensitive to distortion in this area. 2 Other objective quality metrics Because of the limitations of crude metrics such as PSNR, there has been a lot of work in recent years to try to develop a more sophisticated objective test that more closely approaches subjective test results.
