Abstract
What is implied by the statement that the subjective quality of a number of images has been measured? Especially in an engineering community, where (objective) measurement and (subjective) judgement are usually kept very separate, the above question may need some clarification. We will start by making more precise what is understood by measurement and subjective in the current context.
