Learning Local Distortion Visibility From Image Quality Data-sets

چکیده
Accurate prediction of local distortion visibility thresholds is critical in many image and video processing applications. Existing methods require an accurate modeling of the human visual system, and are derived through pshycophysical experiments with simple, artificial stimuli. These approaches, however, are difficult to generalize to natural images with complex types of distortion. In this paper, we explore a different perspective, and we investigate whether it is possible to learn local distortion visibility from image quality scores. We propose a convolutional neural network based optimization framework to infer local detection thresholds in a distorted image. Our model is trained on multiple quality datasets, and the results are correlated with empirical visibility thresholds collected on complex stimuli in a recent study. Our results are comparable to state-of-the-art mathematical models that were trained on phsycovisual data directly. This suggests that it is possible to predict psychophysical phenomena from visibility information embedded in image quality scores.

Relations between local and global perceptual image quality and visual masking
Perceptual quality assessment of digital images and videos are important for various image-processing applications. For assessing the image quality, researchers have often used the idea of visual masking (or distortion visibility) to design image-quality predictors specifically for the near-threshold distortions. However, it is still unknown that while assessing the quality of natural images, h...
متن کاملMultimodal medical image fusion based on Yager’s intuitionistic fuzzy sets
The objective of image fusion for medical images is to combine multiple images obtained from various sources into a single image suitable for better diagnosis. Most of the state-of-the-art image fusing technique is based on nonfuzzy sets, and the fused image so obtained lags with complementary information. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFS) are determined to be more suitable for civilian, and medi...

Digital image watermarking algorithms embed identifying marks that can be used for authentication. To make the distortions induced by the embedding process imperceptible, the watermarking algorithm must determine their visual threshold.
