S. Voran and S. Wolf, "Proposed Framework for Subjective Audiovisual Testing," Contribution to ANSI Accredited Technical Subcommittee T1A1, Working Group T1A1.5, Document Number T1A1.5/95-151, November 1993.

Abstract:

Working Group T1A1.5 is supporting ITU-T Study Group 12 in developing subjective audiovisual testing methods under Question 22/12 which addresses audiovisual quality in multimedia services. A previous contribution from Bellcore, T1A1.5/93-104, describes three basic tests that can be used to examine how perceived audio quality and perceived video quality combine to create a perceived level of composite audiovisual quality. These tests provide a logical and important first step toward understanding the components of subjective audiovisual quality. The present contribution identifies two additional tests that could supplement the three basic tests by providing information about the interactions between perceived audio and video quality. The five resulting tests are summarized in tabular form. Key ideas from this contribution could be integrated with those presented in T1A1.5/93-104 to create a proposed U.S. Contribution to ITU-T Study Group 12.
