TLDR
In this article, a structural similarity index is proposed for image quality assessment based on the degradation of structural information, which can be applied to both subjective ratings and objective methods on a database of images compressed with JPEG and JPEG2000.Abstract:
Objective methods for assessing perceptual image quality traditionally attempted to quantify the visibility of errors (differences) between a distorted image and a reference image using a variety of known properties of the human visual system. Under the assumption that human visual perception is highly adapted for extracting structural information from a scene, we introduce an alternative complementary framework for quality assessment based on the degradation of structural information. As a specific example of this concept, we develop a structural similarity index and demonstrate its promise through a set of intuitive examples, as well as comparison to both subjective ratings and state-of-the-art objective methods on a database of images compressed with JPEG and JPEG2000. A MATLAB implementation of the proposed algorithm is available online at http://www.cns.nyu.edu//spl sim/lcv/ssim/.read more

Conditional image synthesis with auxiliary classifier GANs
TL;DR: A variant of GANs employing label conditioning that results in 128 x 128 resolution image samples exhibiting global coherence is constructed and it is demonstrated that high resolution samples provide class information not present in low resolution samples.

Unsupervised Monocular Depth Estimation with Left-Right Consistency
TL;DR: In this article, the authors propose a novel training objective that enables CNNs to learn to perform single image depth estimation, despite the absence of ground truth depth data, by generating disparity images by training their network with an image reconstruction loss.

Unsupervised Learning of Video Representations using LSTMs
TL;DR: In this paper, an encoder LSTM is used to map an input video sequence into a fixed length representation, which is then decoded using single or multiple decoder Long Short Term Memory (LSTM) networks to perform different tasks.

Image Super-Resolution Using Very Deep Residual Channel Attention Networks
TL;DR: This work proposes a residual in residual (RIR) structure to form very deep network, which consists of several residual groups with long skip connections, and proposes a channel attention mechanism to adaptively rescale channel-wise features by considering interdependencies among channels.

A universal image quality index

TL;DR: Although the new index is mathematically defined and no human visual system model is explicitly employed, experiments on various image distortion types indicate that it performs significantly better than the widely used distortion metric mean squared error.

Image quality measures and their performance
A.M. Eskicioglu,P.S. Fisher +1 more
TL;DR: Although some numerical measures correlate well with the observers' response for a given compression technique, they are not reliable for an evaluation across different techniques, and a graphical measure called Hosaka plots can be used to appropriately specify not only the amount, but also the type of degradation in reconstructed images.
