Structural and Information Theoretic Approaches to Image Quality Assessment

چکیده
Digital images and video are prolific in the world today owing to the ease of acquiring, processing, storing and transmitting them. Several common image processing operations such as compression, dithering and printing affect the quality of the image. Advances in sensor and networking technologies, from the internet to wireless networks, has led to a surge of interest in image communication systems. Again, the communication channel tends to distort the image signal passing through it and the quality of the image needs to be closely monitored to meet requirements at the end receiver. The integrity of the image also needs to be preserved, irrespective of the specific display system that is used by the viewer. In this chapter, we describe state of the art objective quality metrics to assess the quality of digital images.

متن کاملSurvey of information theory in visual quality assessment
We survey information theoretic approaches to solve a variety of visual quality assessment (QA) problems. These approaches are generally built on natural scene statistical models and lead to practical automatic QA algorithms delivering excellent performance in terms of correlation with human judgments of quality. We study all three categories of image QA models: full reference (FR), reduced ref...

There is an important parameter in un-sharp masking, named gain factor, which affects the quality of the enh...
متن کاملInformation Theoretic Criteria for Image Quality Assessment Based on Natural Scene Statistics
Measurement of visual quality is crucial for various image and video processing applications. The goal of objective image quality assessment is to introduce a computational quality metric that can predict image or video quality. Many methods have been proposed in the past decades. Traditionally, measurements convert the spatial data into some other feature domains, such as the Fourier domain, a...
