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

TL;DR: A perceptual generalized equalization model is used for the optimization of both color and contrast based on color constancy and contrast enhancement, i.e. base image and its JND map to produce the enhanced image highly correlated with the human visual perception.

Quality-aware Unpaired Image-to-Image Translation
TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a unified quality-aware GAN-based framework for unpaired image-to-image translation, where a qualityaware loss is explicitly incorporated by comparing each source image and the reconstructed image at the domain level.

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.

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.
