The mainstream approach to image quality assessment has centered around accurately
modeling the single most relevant strategy employed by the human visual system (HVS) …

This paper presents an efficient metric for quantifying the visual fidelity of natural images
based on near-threshold and suprathreshold properties of human vision. The proposed …

Perceptual image quality metrics have explicitly accounted for human visual system (HVS)
sensitivity to subband noise by estimating just noticeable distortion (JND) thresholds. A …

We consider the problem of predicting packet loss visibility in MPEG-2 video. We use two
modeling approaches: CART and GLM. The former classifies each packet loss as visible or …

The structural similarity (SSIM) metric and its multi-scale extension (MS-SSIM) evaluate
visual quality with a modified local measure of spatial correlation consisting of three …

Object quality assessment for compressed video is critical to various video compression
systems that are essential in the video delivery and storage. Although mean squared error …

People can recognize the meaning or gist of a scene from a single glance, and a few recent
studies have begun to examine the sorts of information that contribute to scene gist …

Natural images are meaningful to humans-the physical world exhibits statistical regularities
that permit the human visual system (HVS) to infer useful interpretations. These regularities …

Objective quality assessment for compressed images is critical to various image
compression systems that are essential in image delivery and storage. Although the mean …

Studies of visual masking have provided a wide range of important insights into the
processes involved in visual coding. However, very few of these studies have employed …
