The perceptual quality of digital images is often deteriorated during storage, compression, and transmission. The most reliable way of assessing image quality is to ask people to provide their opinions on a number of test images. However, this is an expensive and time-consuming process which cannot be applied in real-time systems. In this study, a novel no-reference image quality assessment method is proposed. The introduced method uses a set of novel quality-aware features which globally characterizes the statistics of a given test image, such as extended local fractal dimension distribution feature, extended first digit distribution features using different domains, Bilaplacian features, image moments, and a wide variety of perceptual features. Experimental results are demonstrated on five publicly available benchmark image quality assessment databases: CSIQ, MDID, KADID-10k, LIVE In the Wild, and KonIQ-10k.

The goal of no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) is to evaluate their perceptual quality of digital images without using the distortion-free, pristine counterparts. NR-IQA is an important part of multimedia signal processing since digital images can undergo a wide variety of distortions during storage, compression, and transmission. In this paper, we propose a novel architecture that extracts deep features from the input image at multiple scales to improve the effectiveness of feature extraction for NR-IQA using convolutional neural networks. Specifically, the proposed method extracts deep activations for local patches at multiple scales and maps them onto perceptual quality scores with the help of trained Gaussian process regressors. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the introduced algorithm performs favorably against the state-of-the-art methods on three large benchmark datasets with authentic distortions (LIVE In the Wild, KonIQ-10k, and SPAQ).

Quality Assessment Method

Image quality is a key characteristic in image processing,10,11 image retrieval,12,13 and biometrics.14 In this paper, a novel reduced-reference image quality assessment method is proposed based on wavelet transform. By simulating the human visual system, we take the variance of the visual sensitive coefficients into account to measure a distorted image. The computational complexity of the proposed method is much lower compared with some existing methods. Experimental results demonstrate its advantages in terms of correlation coefficient, outlier ratio, transmitted information, and CPU cost. Moreover, it is also illustrated that the proposed method has a good accordance with human subjective perception.

In this paper, a new image quality assessment method has been proposed in which can judge the quality of images without explicit knowledge of the reference images ,it is based on the SSIM(Structural Similarity) and TV(total variation) model. Firstly, add noises to distorted image to quantitatively determine, it can get the degraded image; secondly, use the improved self-adaptive gradient weights of the TV algorithms to denoising the distorted image, it can get the “fake” reference image, then use the classical SSIM methods to make reference evaluation between the distorted image and the “fake” reference image, after modified, the results is the no reference evaluating indicator. The experiment separated use the standard testing images and the degraded images from the LIVE database to make evaluate experiment, the result show that it is consistent to the result of MOS. This method is no need of reference images, it can use widely.
