PEAQ - The ITU Standard for Objective Measurement of Perceived Audio Quality

Perceptual coding of audio signals is increasingly used in the transmission and storage of high-quality digital audio, and there is a strong demand for an acceptable objective method to measure the quality of such signals. A new measurement method is described that combines ideas from several earlier methods. The method should meet the requirements of the user community, and it has been recommended by ITU Radiocommunication study groups.
