Matlab Usage

Prerequisites

To be able to use Matlab, you need to first successfully download and activate Matlab, as described here. Then, add a line to python/vmaf/externals.py, like:

MATLAB_PATH = <path_to_matlab>

For example (mac OSX):

MATLAB_PATH = "/Applications/MATLAB_R2017a.app/bin/matlab"

Available Algorithms

The available algorithms are ST-MAD [1], ST-RRED [2], SpEED-QA [3] and BRISQUE [4].

Example usage for ST-MAD, ST-RRED and SpEED-QA with the run_testing script:

./run_testing quality_type dataset_file

where quality_type can be STMAD (for ST-MAD), STRRED (for ST-RRED) and SpEED_Matlab (for SpEED-QA). We have also implemented a computationally efficient version of ST-RRED (use STRREDOpt as the quality_type), which produces numerically identical results to ST-RRED.

Example usage for BRISQUE:

./run_vmaf yuv_420p 1920 1080 \
    NFLX_dataset_public/ref/OldTownCross_25fps.yuv \
    NFLX_dataset_public/dis/OldTownCross_90_1080_4300.yuv \
    --model model/vmaf_brisque_all_v0.0rc.pkl
