Abstract-Automatic quality control for audiovisual media is an important tool in the media production process. In this paper we present tools for assessing the quality of audiovisual content in order to decide about the reusability of archive content. We first discuss automatic detectors for the common impairments noise and grain, video breakups, sharpness, image dynamics and blocking. For the efficient viewing and verification of the automatic results by an operator, three approaches for user interfaces are presented. Finally, we discuss the integration of the tools into a service oriented architecture, focusing on the recent standardization efforts by EBU and AMWA's Joint Task Force on a Framework for Interoperability of Media Services in TV Production (FIMS) .
Media capture of live events such as concerts can be improved by including user generated content. In this paper we propose methods for visual quality analysis on mobile devices, in order to provide direct feedback to the contributing user about the quality of the captured content and avoid wasting bandwidth and battery for uploading/streaming lowquality content. We focus on quality analysis that complements information we can obtain from other sensors. The proposed methods include real-time algorithms for sharpness, noise and over-/underexposure.
