AB -  It is well known that low bit rate block-based discrete cosine transform coded images exhibits 
visually  annoying  coding  artifacts.  It  is  of  interest  to  be  able  to  numerically  assess  the  degree  of  blocking 
artifacts as it plays an important role in the design, optimization and assessment of image and video coding 
systems.  A  novel  algorithm  for  image  blocking  artifact  detection  is  presented  in  this  paper.  Experimental 
results illustrating the performance of proposed method are presented and evaluated. Our experiment results 
show  that  the  proposed  method  of  measuring  blocking  artifacts  exhibits  satisfactory  performance  as 
compared to other post-processing method’s/techniques and is very efficient and stable since the signal need 
not be compressed/decompressed.
