A method for DCT-domain blind measurement of blocking artifacts is proposed. By constituting a new block across any two adjacent blocks, the blocking artifact is modeled as a 2-D step function. A fast DCT-domain algorithm has been derived to constitute the new block and extract all parameters needed. Then an human visual system (HVS) based measurement of blocking artifacts is conducted. Experimental results have shown the effectiveness and stability of our method. The proposed technique can be used for online image/video quality monitoring and control in applications of DCT-domain image/video processing.
