A novel feature similarity (FSIM) index for full reference IQA is proposed based on the fact that human visual system (HVS) understands an image mainly according to its low-level features.Abstract:
Image quality assessment (IQA) aims to use computational models to measure the image quality consistently with subjective evaluations. The well-known structural similarity index brings IQA from pixel- to structure-based stage. In this paper, a novel feature similarity (FSIM) index for full reference IQA is proposed based on the fact that human visual system (HVS) understands an image mainly according to its low-level features. Specifically, the phase congruency (PC), which is a dimensionless measure of the significance of a local structure, is used as the primary feature in FSIM. Considering that PC is contrast invariant while the contrast information does affect HVS' perception of image quality, the image gradient magnitude (GM) is employed as the secondary feature in FSIM. PC and GM play complementary roles in characterizing the image local quality. After obtaining the local quality map, we use PC again as a weighting function to derive a single quality score. Extensive experiments performed on six benchmark IQA databases demonstrate that FSIM can achieve much higher consistency with the subjective evaluations than state-of-the-art IQA metrics.read more

Optimal O(1) Bilateral Filter with Arbitrary Spatial and Range Kernels Using Sparse Approximation
TL;DR: It turns out that the multiple-box spatial kernel can be applied in many O(1) acceleration schemes in addition to the histogram-based one, and has better accuracy in approximating the bilateral filter with Gaussian spatial kernel, compared with the previous histograms-based methods.

Theory of Edge Detection

TL;DR: The theory of edge detection explains several basic psychophysical findings, and the operation of forming oriented zero-crossing segments from the output of centre-surround ∇2G filters acting on the image forms the basis for a physiological model of simple cells.

Multiscale structural similarity for image quality assessment
TL;DR: This paper proposes a multiscale structural similarity method, which supplies more flexibility than previous single-scale methods in incorporating the variations of viewing conditions, and develops an image synthesis method to calibrate the parameters that define the relative importance of different scales.

Image information and visual quality

TL;DR: An image information measure is proposed that quantifies the information that is present in the reference image and how much of this reference information can be extracted from the distorted image and combined these two quantities form a visual information fidelity measure for image QA.
