MSU Video Quality Metrics Benchmark 2022


We help researchers test the performance of their metrics on the largest compression dataset

Key features of our benchmark

  • Extensive and diverse dataset
    • We used compression as distortion
    • 40 different codecs of 10 compression standards
    • 2500+ compressed streams with various target bitrates
    • 780.000+ subjective responds
  • VQA and IQA metrics
    • 20+ metrics without variations
    • 150+ metrics with variations
    • Calculations over U and V planes
    • Metrics with different weighted
      average for planes
  • Various charts
    • Bar chart with overall quality
    • Compare metrics performance on difference compression standards with 95% confidence intervals
    • Illustrative Speed-Quality chart

How to submit

Send us an email to vqa@videoprocessing.ai with the file of .exe extension with your algorithm and instructions to run it from console. When launched from console we expect your file to have following options (or their analogs):

For Full-reference metrics:


  • -ref — path to reference video
  • -dist — path to distorted video
  • -output — path to output of your algorithm
  • -t — threshold, if it's required in your algorithm

For No-reference metrics:


  • -dist — path to distorted video
  • -output — path to output of your algorithm
  • -t — threshold, if it's required in your algorithm

Feel free to add any addition information about your algorithm.

We won’t publish results of your algorithm without your permission.

If you have any suggestions or ideas how to improve our benchmark, please write us an e-mail on vqa@videoprocessing.ai.
