The characteristic of image quality perception of elderly group: according to the comparison with adult group

Abstract

This study examined the image quality preference of the elderly group. The subjects were divided into adult group and elderly group based on their age, and subjective image quality evaluation was performed. In result, two significant differences were found according to the age group. First, the elderly group evaluates image quality based on sensory stimulation (sharp, clean), which involves less complicated cognitive processes compared with the adult group. Next, the degree of image quality preference of the elderly group was not significantly influenced by decrease and increase of brightness and saturation compared to adult group. Notably, when brightness increased significantly, the tendency of image quality preference of elderly group remained high unlike the adult group. This confirmed that it is necessary to increase the brightness of the image in order to satisfy the elderly group's image quality preference at a high level compared with the adult group.

Data-driven Approaches for Discovery and Prediction of User-preferred Picture Settings on Smart TVs

“…This implies that the current Picture Mode might need to be fne-tuned based on user characteristics. For instance, researchers found out that people aged 55 and older perceives picture quality diferently than those in their 20s and 30s [11]. Accordingly, we could perform picture mode discovery for elderly users who own a specifc TV model and update preexisting Picture Mode especially for them.…”

Evaluation of Subjective Video Quality of Television Displays

“…Winkler discussed the connections between the human visual system and video quality and highlighted the challenges in developing vision models for perceptual video quality assessment [8]. Additional studies discussed other factors, including spatiotemporal attribute [9], dynamic range (SDR and HDR) [10], and demography [11].…”
