Visual quality assessment: recent developments, coding applications and future trends
نویسندگان
چکیده
Research on visual quality assessment has been active during the last decade. In this work, we provide an in-depth review of recent developments in the field. As compared with existing survey papers, our current work has several unique contributions. First, besides image quality databases and metrics, we put equal emphasis on video quality databases and metrics as this is a less investigated area. Second, we discuss the application of visual quality evaluation to perceptual coding as an example for applications. Third, we benchmark the performance of state-of-the-art visual quality metrics with experiments. Finally, future trends in visual quality assessment are discussed.

Recent Developments and Future Trends in Visual Quality Assessment
The visual quality assessment approaches and their classification are introduced. Recent developments on both image and video quality metrics, as well as several publicly available databases for both images and videos, are reviewed. Then, we conduct experiments on image and video quality databases to compare the performance of some existing state-ofthe-art visual quality metrics. It is shown th...
