Abstract No-reference (NR)/blind image quality assessment (IQA) metrics play an important
role in the area of image processing. Natural scene statistics (NSS) model assumes that …

As one of indispensable steps in vision applications, the evaluation of the perceptual quality
of an image attracts significant attention in recent years. This paper presents an image …

Multiple description coding (MDC) has been an effective scheme for reliable transmission of
videos over error prone networks but requires higher data rates. Recently, perceptual video …

Recently, interest about images and photos in omni-directional format (360°, field-of-view)
