No-reference quality assessment for image-based assessment of economically important tropical woods. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2020 Image Quality Assessment (IQA) is essential for the accuracy of systems for automatic recognition of tree species for wood samples. In this study, a No-Reference IQA (NR-IQA), wood NR-IQA (WNR-IQA) metric was proposed to assess the quality of wood images.
