MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool

MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool - Free program for video quality measurements MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool is a freeware tool designed to measure video quality. Supports different input formats (AVI, AVS, YUV, BMP) and metrics (PSNR, Delta, VQM, SSIM, MSU Blurring / Blocking Measure).

Features of "MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool":

  • results are saved in *.CSV (can be opened everywhere),
  • all metrics are visualized,
  • comparative analysis (comparison of three files: original, and two other, for example processed by different codecs).


    Program allow to answer on questions:
  • One codec has more blurring than another. On what frames? Average mark?
  • One codec has more blocking than another. On what frames? Average mark?
  • One codec has more lower quality than another. On what frames? Average mark in PSNR, VQM, SSIM?

    Correspondent "bad frames" are saved automatically into BMP files.

    Supported video formats:

    *.AVI
    *.AVS
    *.YUV (scientific)
    *.BMP (RGB24)
    Supported metrics (and color spaces):
    PSNR (Y,U,V,L,R,G,B) - most popular
    Delta (Y,U,V,L, R,G,B)
    MSAD (Y,U,V,L,R,G,B)
    MSE (Y,U,V,L,R,G,B)
    SSIM (Y) - new
    VQM (Y) - new
    MSU Blurring (Y,U,V) - new
    MSU Blocking (Y,U,V) - new

    Here are some key features of "MSU Video Quality Measurement Tool":
  • Results are saved in *.CSV (can be opened everywhere)
  • All metrics are visualized (very useful for codec and filter debugging)
  • Main feature for codec lovers: comparative analysis (!!!) Now everybody in 5 minutes is able to demonstrate that one codec is better than another! It's easy:
  • Set "comparative analysis" and select original, and sequences after compression with codec A and codec B (recommended more than 10000 frames).
  • Select metric (recommended Y-PSNR)
  • Select "Save bad frames" (in "Advanced" dialog you could specify for which sequence value of the metric must be greater) - pairs of frames with maximum metric difference (A>B) will be detected and saved.
  • Press "Process", find output frames and select best pairs
  • Upload frames to your favorite forum.
  • Done!
  • If you want to prove, that codec B is better than A just swap compressed files in metric form fields. :) Codec and filter developers can use this feature for tuning (fast codec/filter update testing).
