Abstract

The paper describes a design of a subjective experiment for testing the video quality of High Dynamic Range, Wide Color gamut (HDR-WCG) content at 4K resolution. Due to Covid, testing could not use a lab, so an at-home test procedure was developed. To aim for calibration despite not fully controlling the conditions and settings, we limited subjects to those who had a specific TV model, which we had previously calibrated in our labs. Moreover, we performed the experiment in the Dolby Vision mode (where the various enhancements of the TV are turned OFF by default). A browser approach was used which took control of the TV, and ensure the content was viewed at the native resolution of the TV (e.g., dot-on-dot mode). In addition, we know that video imagery is not ergodic, and there is wide variability in types of low levels features (sharpness, noise, motion, color volume, etc.) that affect both TV and visual system performance. So, a large number of test clips was used (30) and the content was specifically chosen to stress key features. The obtained data is qualitatively similar to an in-lab study and is subsequently used to evaluate several existing objective quality metrics.
