A Comparison of the Statistical Properties of IQA Databases Relative to a Set of Newly Captured High-Definition Images

چکیده
A broad range of image processing applications require image databases during development and testing. Whilst some image databases have been assembled with specific applications in mind, others are intended for more general use, with image content that is purposefully not application-specific. General-purpose image databases are in frequent use in the development of new compression algorithms, including in the evaluation of the efficacy of lossy compression techniques via statistical and human (perceptual) image quality assessment methods. The question of how the images featuring in standard image databases are selected is important, but is rarely quantitatively justified. In this article, we describe the compilation of a new image database of high-definition color images. We present statistical analyzes both of the images that feature in the most widely used extant databases, and the new database that we have compiled, in order to evaluate how broad a range of the statistics measured each database spans.

The Role of MRSI in Target Volume Definition for Radiation Therapy of Prostate Cancer
Introduction: Recently, magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI), as a functional imaging method, has been used for clinical target volume definition. In this study, we used this method to define the target volume in prostate radiotherapy. Material and Method: In this study, we used images of 20 prostate cancer cases. MRSI and MRI images were fused with CT images. Then, treatment plannin...

The development of computer systems and extensive use of information technology in the everyday life of people have just made it more and more important for them to make quick access to information that has received great importance. Increasing the volume of information makes it difficult to manage or control. Thus, some instruments need to be provided to use this information. The QA system is ...
متن کاملA New Method for Root Detection in Minirhizotron Images: Hypothesis Testing Based on Entropy-Based Geometric Level Set Decision
In this paper a new method is introduced for root detection in minirhizotron images for root investigation. In this method firstly a hypothesis testing framework is defined to separate roots from background and noise. Then the correct roots are extracted by using an entropy-based geometric level set decision function. Performance of the proposed method is evaluated on real captured images in tw...
متن کاملA Novel Image Structural Similarity Index Considering Image Content Detectability Using Maximally Stable Extremal Region Descriptor
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 کاملMaking a "Completely Blind" Image Quality Analyzer
An important aim of research on the blind image quality assessment (IQA) problem is to devise perceptual models that can predict the quality of distorted images with as little prior knowledge of the images or their distortions as possible. Current state-of-the-art ‘general purpose’ no reference (NR) IQA algorithms require knowledge about anticipated distortions in the form of training examples ...
