From Analog To Digital Video
Since the time when the world's first video sequence was recorded, many video processing systems have been designed. In the ages of analog video systems, it was possible to evaluate quality of a video processing system by calculating the system's frequency response using some traditional test signal (for example, a collection of color bars and circles).
Nowadays, digital video systems are replacing analog ones, and evaluation methods have changed. Performance of a digital video processing system can vary significantly and depends on dynamic characteristics of input video signal (e.g. amount of motion or spatial details). That's why digital video quality should be evaluated on diverse video sequences, often from the user's database.

Famous quotes containing the word video:
“I recently learned something quite interesting about video games. Many young people have developed incredible hand, eye, and brain coordination in playing these games. The air force believes these kids will be our outstanding pilots should they fly our jets.”
