Reduced-Reference Image Quality Assessment Based on the Similarity of Edge Projections
نویسنده
چکیده
The goal of image or video quality assessment is to evaluate if a distorted image or video is of a good quality by measuring the difference between the original and distorted images or videos. In this paper, to assess the visual quality of an arbitrary distorted image or a compressed video, visual features of the image or video are compared with those of the original image or video instead of direct comparison of two images or videos. As visual features, we use directional edge projections that are obtained by projecting vertical and horizontal edges detected by vertical and horizontal Sobel masks, respectively. Experimental results using LIVE data set and 140 video clips that are compressed with H.263 and H.264/AVC show the effectiveness of the proposed methods through the comparison with conventional algorithms such as structural similarity (SSIM), edge peak signal-to-noise ratio (EPSNR), and edge histogram descriptor (EHD) methods.

Reduced-Reference Image Quality Assessment based on saliency region extraction
In this paper, a novel saliency theory based RR-IQA metric is introduced. As the human visual system is sensitive to the salient region, evaluating the image quality based on the salient region could increase the accuracy of the algorithm. In order to extract the salient regions, we use blob decomposition (BD) tool as a texture component descriptor. A new method for blob decomposition is propos...

The image content detectability and image structure preservation are closely related concepts with undeniable role in image quality assessment. However, the most attention of image quality studies has been paid to image structure evaluation, few of them focused on image content detectability. Examining the image structure was firstly introduced and assessed in Structural SIMilarity (SSIM) measu...
متن کاملAssessment of the Wavelet Transform for Noise Reduction in Simulated PET Images
Introduction: An efficient method of tomographic imaging in nuclear medicine is positron emission tomography (PET). Compared to SPECT, PET has the advantages of higher levels of sensitivity, spatial resolution and more accurate quantification. However, high noise levels in the image limit its diagnostic utility. Noise removal in nuclear medicine is traditionally based on Fourier decomposition o...

Extended abstract 1- Introduction Coasts maintain their natural sustainability without human intervention and in spite of short-term changes, we are ultimately confronted with a coastal healthy environment, i.e. natural, rocky beaches, sandy beaches and so on. Today's use of remote sensing in most natural sciences is widespread. Due to the fact that fieldwork is costly and time-consuming, ...
