Blind Image Blur Assessment Using Singular Value Similarity and Blur Comparisons
نویسندگان
چکیده
The increasing number of demanding consumer image applications has led to increased interest in no-reference objective image quality assessment (IQA) algorithms. In this paper, we propose a new blind blur index for still images based on singular value similarity. The algorithm consists of three steps. First, a re-blurred image is produced by applying a Gaussian blur to the test image. Second, a singular value decomposition is performed on the test image and re-blurred image. Finally, an image blur index is constructed based on singular value similarity. The experimental results obtained on four simulated databases to demonstrate that the proposed algorithm has high correlation with human judgment when assessing blur or noise distortion of images.

Blind Image Deblurring Using Row-Column Sparse Representations
Blind image deblurring is a particularly challenging inverse problem where the blur kernel is unknown and must be estimated en route to recover the deblurred image. The problem is of strong practical relevance since many imaging devices such as cellphone cameras, must rely on deblurring algorithms to yield satisfactory image quality. Despite significant research effort, handling large motions r...
متن کاملSingle Image Blind Deconvolution with Higher-Order Texture Statistics
We present a novel method for solving blind deconvolution, i.e., the task of recovering a sharp image given a blurry one. We focus on blurry images obtained from a coded aperture camera, where both the camera and the scene are static, and allow blur to vary across the image domain. As most methods for blind deconvolution, we solve the problem in two steps: First, we estimate the coded blur scal...
متن کاملNo-reference image blur index based on singular value curve
We describe a new no-reference blur index for still images based on a singular value curve (SVC). The algorithm is composed of two steps. First, the singular value decomposition is performed on the image to be blur-assessed. Then an image blur index is constructed from the singular value curve. Experimental results obtained on four simulated blur databases and on the Real Blur Image Database sh...
متن کاملImage Blur Assessment with Feature Points
Blur is a key factor in the perception of image quality, leading to spread of edges in images. The quantity of feature points extracted from images can represent image shape changes. Compared with sharp images, blurred images tend to contain less feature points, and the reduction of feature points is related to blur. In this paper, we propose a new blind blur assessment metric based on feature ...
متن کاملImproving Super-resolution Techniques via Employing Blurriness Information of the Image
Super-resolution (SR) is a technique that produces a high resolution (HR) image via employing a number of low resolution (LR) images from the same scene. One of the degradations that attenuates performance of the SR is the blurriness of the input LR images. In many previous works in the SR, the blurriness of the LR images is assumed to be due to the integral effect of the image sensor of the im...
