A reduced-reference perceptual image and video quality metric based on edge preservation [PDF]
In image and video compression and transmission, it is important to rely on an objective image/video quality metric which accurately represents the subjective quality of processed images and video sequences.

Full-Resolution Quality Assessment for Pansharpening
A reliable quality assessment procedure for pansharpening methods is of critical importance for the development of the related solutions. Unfortunately, the lack of ground truths to be used as guidance for an objective evaluation has pushed the community

No-reference image quality assessment through the von Mises distribution [PDF]
An innovative way of calculating the von Mises distribution (VMD) of image entropy is introduced in this paper. The VMD's concentration parameter and some fitness parameter that will be later defined, have been analyzed in the experimental part for ...

Quality assessment by region in spot images fused by means dual-tree complex wavelet transform [PDF]
This work is motivated in providing and evaluating a fusion algorithm of remotely sensed images, i.e. the fusion of a high spatial resolution panchromatic image with a multi-spectral image (also known as pansharpening) using the dual-tree complex wavelet

Towards a Semantic Perceptual Image Metric
We present a full reference, perceptual image metric based on VGG-16, an artificial neural network trained on object classification. We fit the metric to a new database based on 140k unique images annotated with ground truth by human raters who received ...

Blind full reference quality assessment of poisson image denoising
The distribution of real camera sensor is well approximated by Poisson, and the estimation of the light intensity signal from the Poisson count data plays a prominent role in digital imaging. It is highly desirable for imaging devices to carry the ability to assess the performance of Poisson image restoration. Drawing on a new category of image quality
