A universal image quality index

IEEE Signal Processing Letters, 2002
We propose a new universal objective image quality index, which is easy to calculate and applicable to various image processing applications. Instead of using traditional error summation methods, the proposed index is designed by modeling any image distortion as a combination of three factors: loss of correlation, luminance distortion, and contrast ...

Fuzzy environmental quality index

International Conference on Fuzzy Systems, 2010
This paper presents the construction of a fuzzy environmental quality index for decision support in municipal environmental management. Five groups of indicators were selected in order to obtain an equation that best represented reality in terms of environmental quality.

A Quality Index for Economic Journals

The Review of Economics and Statistics, 1974
It is also perhaps worth considering the case in which the alternative model y Zy + co contains the same regressors as the true model (i.e., Z X). Then the above proof shows that the probability limit of the estimated error variance is smaller when the true value of p is used to perform the Orcutt transformation than when any other value po is used ...

Cocoa Quality Index – A proposal

Food Control, 2014
The definition of food quality has varied over time but has evolved so that current definitions are based on meeting customer demands. However, in order to better define food quality a more comprehensive evaluation based in key variables is required. This study aims to propose a Cocoa Quality Index (CQI).

Development of groundwater quality index

Environmental Monitoring and Assessment, 2009
Assessing the water quality status for special use is the main objective of any water quality monitoring studies. The water quality index (WQI) is a mathematical instrument used to transform large quantities of water quality data into a single number which represents the water quality level.

Traffic air quality index

Science of The Total Environment, 2015
Vehicle emissions are responsible for a considerable share of urban air pollution concentrations. The traffic air quality index (TAQI) is proposed as a useful tool for evaluating air quality near roadways. The TAQI associates air quality with the equivalent emission from traffic sources and with street structure (roadway structure) as anthropogenic ...

Indexing consistency, quality and efficiency

Information Processing & Management, 1981
Indexing quality determines whether the information content of an indexed document is accurately represented. Indexing effectiveness measures whether an indexed document is correctly retrieved every time it is relevant to a query. Measurement of these criteria is cumbersome and costly; data base producers therefore prefer inter-indexer consistency as a
