Image Distortion Maps

چکیده
Subjects examined image pairs consisting of an original and a reproduction created using either JPEG compression or digital halftoning. Subjects marked locations on the reproduction that differed detectably from the original. We refer to the distribution of error marks by the subjects as image distortion maps. The empirically obtained image distortion maps are compared to the visible difference calculated using three color difference metrics. These are color distortions predicted by the widely used mean square error (point-bypoint MSE) computed in RGB values, the point-by-point CIELAB E color difference formula (CIE, 1971), and SCIELAB, a spatial extension of CIELAB that incorporates spatial filtering in an opponent colors representation prior to the CIELAB calculation (Zhang & Wandell, 1996). For halftoned reproductions the RMS, CIELAB, and SCIELAB error sizes correlated with the locations marked by subjects reasonably well, given the freedom to select a threshold level separately for each image. The S-CIELAB metric had the most consistent threshold levels across images; the RMS metric had the least consistent levels. For JPEG reproductions, all three metrics provided poor predictions of subjects’ marked locations.

Image distortion correction in fMRI: A quantitative evaluation.
A well-recognized problem with the echo-planar imaging (EPI) technique most commonly used for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies is geometric distortion caused by magnetic field inhomogeneity. This makes it difficult to achieve an accurate registration between a functional activation map calculated from an EPI time series and an undistorted, high resolution anatomical image. A...
متن کاملIncorporating Visual Attention Models into Image Quality Metrics
A recent development in the area of image quality consists of trying to incorporate aspects of visual attention in the metric design. This is generally achieved by combining distortion maps and saliency maps. Although a good number of saliency-inspired image quality metrics have been proposed, results are not yet conclusive. Some researchers have reported that the incorporation of visual attent...
متن کاملEffect of Phase-Encoding Reduction on Geometric Distortion and BOLD Signal Changes in fMRI
Introduction Echo-planar imaging (EPI) is a group of fast data acquisition methods commonly used in fMRI studies. It acquires multiple image lines in k-space after a single excitation, which leads to a very short scan time. A well-known problem with EPI is that it is more sensitive to distortions due to the used encoding scheme. Source of distortion is inhomogeneity in the static B0 field that ...
