Creation & Assessment of a Video Quality Ruler

Image quality has always been a matter of great importance for anyone working with or consuming images and videos. Images and videos are, in general, for human consumption. Thus, image quality is essentially a subjective attribute of an image. Though there exist both objective and subjective approaches to assessing image quality, objective results may not correlate well with subjective resultImage quality has always been a matter of great importance for anyone working with or consuming images and videos. There exist both objective and subjective approaches to assessing image quality. Example metrics of the former include PSNR and SSIM, both of which mathematically compare pixels of the original image with the equivalent pixels of the distorted or changed image. Objective methods are f

The 't Hooft model as a testing ground for Quantum Chromodynamics

Allt vi ser är uppbyggt av små partiklar som vi kallar atomer. Men atomerna är inte fundamentala, de består av ännu mindre partiklar och faktiskt, är de mesta av dem tomrum. En atom har liknande struktur som vårt solsystem, det finns en mycket tung kärna i mitten (solen) och lättare elektroner som kretsar runt den (planeterna). Mellan kärnan och elektronerna finns mestadels tomrum, precis som i våWe study a 1+1 dimensional Yang-Mills model in the light-cone gauge (the ’t Hooft model). The colour group is SU (N ) and we study the limit N → ∞, the limit is taken such that g²N is kept constant. In this limit the only contributing diagrams are planar diagrams without gluon-gluon interactions. Using this, it is shown that there are no free quarks in this model. The bound state wave equation is
