摘要

摘要: 为了衡量图像的降质程度, 充分考虑像素间的相关性, 提出了一种基于差异激励的无参考图像质量评价算法.该算法根据韦伯定律求得差异激励图, 并依据各向异性得到差异激励的梯度映射图; 然后量化差异激励得到差异量化图, 并分别与差异激励图与梯度映射图进行加权融合; 最后利用求得的特征, 通过支持向量回归(Support vector regression, SVR)预测得出图像质量的客观评价值.在LIVE、MLIVE、MDID2013和MDID2016等多个数据库中测试显示, 该算法稳定性强, 复杂度低, 能准确反映人类对图像质量的视觉感知效果.

Abstract: In order to estimate the degradation of the image distortion level and consider the correlation among pixels, a no-reference image quality assessment algorithm based on differential excitation is proposed in this article. According to the Weber$'$s law, the differential excitation map was obtained and the gradient map of differential excitation was obtained by anisotropy. Then, the differential quantization map was obtained by quantifying differential excitation, and weighted fusion with differential excitation map and gradient map is carried out respectively. Finally, the objective evaluation value of image quality is obtained by support vector regression (SVR) prediction using the acquired features. In LIVE and MLIVE and MDID2013 and MDID2016 databases, the experiment shows that the algorithm is highly robust and low complexity, which can accurately reflect the human image quality of visual perception.
