Videolab of the Institute for Data Processing

The videolab of the Institute for Data Processing provides a setup for conducting experiments to determine visual and audio-visual quality under standard conditions.

Current research is focused on the development of quality metrics and algorithms modelling the Quality of Experience (QoE) as perceived by humans, in order to avoid time and cost intensive subjective testing for quality estimation.

The videolab participates actively in the European expert network for QoE, Qualinet, and also supports standardization of video codecs by MPEG with subjective testing. Additionally, we offer services based on our experience in visual quality estimation to external, industrial partners.
