A Change of Facial Electromyogram by the Perception of Coded Distortion

Abstract

As the first step in the development of new image quality assessment methods by using Facial Electromyogram, we examined whether the Facial Electromyogram changes with coded image distortion. First of all, by implementing the subjective assessment test, we examined the relationship between Facial Electromyogram and the conventional questionnaire method. Then, we analyzed the activity of facial muscles from the experimental results and predicted a subjective assessment score by using the stepwise regression analysis. At this time, we also analysed the influence of eye blink for Facial Electromyogram.
