No-Reference Quality Assessment of In-Capture Distorted Videos

We introduce a no-reference method for the assessment of the quality of videos affected by in-capture distortions due to camera hardware and processing software. The proposed method encodes both quality attributes and semantic content of each video frame by using two Convolutional Neural Networks (C...
