Video delivering over Internet protocol (IP)-based communication networks is widely used in the actual information\nsharing scenario. As well known, the best-effort Internet architecture cannot guarantee an errorless data delivering. In\nthis paper, an objective no-reference video quality metric for assessing the impact of the degradations introduced by\nvideo transmission over heterogeneous IP networks is presented. The proposed approach is based on the analysis of\nthe inter-frame correlation measured at the output of the rendering application. It does not require any information\non errors, delays, and latencies affecting the links and on the countermeasures introduced by decoders in order to\nface the potential quality loss. Experimental results show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm in\napproximating the assessments obtained by using human visual system (HVS)-inspired full reference metrics.
