Quality of experience (QoE) is the perceptual quality of service (QoS) from the users'
perspective. For video service, the relationship between QoE and QoS (such as coding …

Image quality assessment (IQA) has been a topic of intense research over the last several
decades. With each year comes an increasing number of new IQA algorithms, extensions of …

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 …

We propose a perceptual video coding framework based on the divisive normalization
scheme, which is found to be an effective approach to model the perceptual sensitivity of …

In this paper, we derive bounds on the structural similarity (SSIM) index as a function of
quantization rate for fixed-rate uniform quantization of image discrete cosine transform …

High efficiency video coding (HEVC) is the latest video coding standard, and it has the best
performance among all the existing standards. HEVC main still picture profile (HEVC-MSP) …

One-and two-way communication with digital compressed visual signals is now an integral
part of the daily life of millions. Such commonplace use has been realized by decades of …

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 …

In studies of spatially confined networks, network measures can lead to false conclusions
since most measures are boundary-affected. This is especially the case if boundaries are …
