1. A method for evaluating video quality of a video stream comprising the steps ofa) calculating, for at least a first frame of a series of frames from said video stream, a true value of at least one video quality-related parameter associated with said first frame;
- b) calculating a predicted value of said video quality-related parameter for at least a second frame out of said series of frames, the prediction being based on said true value associated with said first frame;
c) calculating a true value of said video quality-related parameter associated with said second frame; and
d) judging the video quality of said second frame based on a difference between true and predicted values of the at least one video quality-related parameter associated with said second frame.

Abstract
A method for evaluating video quality of a video stream comprising the steps of
- a) calculating, for at least a first frame of a series of frames from said video stream, a true value of at least one video quality-related parameter associated to said first frame;
- b) calculating a predicted value of said video quality-related parameter for at least a second frame from said series of frames based on said true value associated to said first frame;
- c) calculating a true value of said video quality-related parameter associated to said second frame; and
- d) judging the video quality of said second frame based on a difference between true and predicted values of the at least one video quality-related parameter associated to said second frame.

11. A method for evaluating video quality of a video stream comprising the steps of
aa) defining a first series of frames and a second series of frames; -
bb) calculating, for at least a first frame of the first series of frames from said video stream, a true value of at least one video quality-related parameter associated with said first frame; cc) calculating a predicted value of said video quality-related parameter for at least a second frame out of said first series of frames, the prediction being based on said true value associated with said first frame; dd) calculating a true value of said video quality-related parameter associated with said second frame; ee) provisionally judging the video quality of said second frame to be defective if a difference between true and predicted values of the at least one video quality-related parameter associated with said second frame exceeds a predetermined value; ff) calculating, for at least a first frame of the second series of frames from said video stream, a true value of at least one video quality-related parameter associated with said first frame; gg) calculating a predicted value of said video quality-related parameter for at least a second frame out of said second series of frames, the prediction being based on said true value associated with said first frame; hh) calculating a true value of said video quality-related parameter associated with said second frame; jj) provisionally judging the video quality of said second frame to be defective if a difference between true and predicted values of the at least one video quality-related parameter associated with said second frame exceeds a predetermined value; wherein a frame belonging to said first and second series is definitely judged to be defective if it was provisionally judged to be defective in step ee) and in step jj).
