Human Vision Models for Perceptually Optimized Image Processing – A Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
By taking into account the properties and limitations of the human visual system (HVS), images can be more efficiently compressed, colors more accurately reproduced, prints better rendered, to mention a few major advantages. To achieve these goals it is necessary to build a computational model of the HVS. In this paper we give an introduction to the general issue of HVS-modeling and review the specific applications of visual quality assessment and HVS-based image compression, which are closely related. On one hand, these two examples demonstrate the common structure of HVS-models, on the other hand they also show how application-specific constraints influence model design. Recent vision models from these application areas are reviewed and summarized in a table for direct comparison. Keywords— Human Visual System (HVS), Color Perception, Quality Assessment, Image Compression

Evaluation of human vision models for predicting human-observer performance
We demonstrate that human-vision-model-based image quality metrics not only correlate strongly with subjective evaluations of image quality but also with human observer performance on visual recognition tasks. By varying amorphous silicon image system design parameters, the performance of human observers in target identification using the resulting test images was measured and compared with the...
متن کاملDesign, Development and Evaluation of an Orange Sorter Based on Machine Vision and Artificial Neural Network Techniques
ABSTRACT- The high production of orange fruit in Iran calls for quality sorting of this product as a requirement for entering global markets. This study was devoted to the development of an automatic fruit sorter based on size. The hardware consisted of two units. An image acquisition apparatus equipped with a camera, a robotic arm and controller circuits. The second unit consisted of a robotic...
متن کاملRegion based elimination of noise pixels towards optimized classifier models for skin pixel detection
The extraction of the skin pixels in a human image and rejection of non-skin pixels is called the skin segmentation. Skin pixel detection is the process of extracting the skin pixels in a human image which is typically used as a pre-processing step to extract the face regions from human image. In past, there are several computer vision approaches and techniques have been developed for skin pixe...
متن کاملGeometrical and statistical properties of vision models obtained via maximum differentiation
We examine properties of perceptual image distortion models, computed as the mean squared error in the response of a 2-stage cascaded image transformation. Each stage in the cascade is composed of a linear transformation, followed by a local nonlinear normalization operation. We consider two such models. For the first, the structure of the linear transformations is chosen according to perceptua...
متن کاملAn Analytical Approach for Sampling the RGB Color Space Considering Physiological Limitations of Human Vision and its Application for Color Image Analysis
Most of the color image processing algorithms do not consider the non-linearity of human vision, and the limitations of the human vision likecapability to discriminate between two similar colors and maximum number of colors human vision can respond to. In this paper, the nonlinearity and physiological limitations of human vision have been used for sampling the RGB color space. The large redunda...
