With the prevalence of digital cameras, the number of digital images increases quickly, which raises the demand for non-manual image quality assessment. While there are many methods considered useful for detecting blurriness, in this paper…
Neural network models can now recognise images, understand text, translate languages, and play many human games at human or superhuman levels. These systems are highly abstracted, but are inspired by biological brains and use only…
Our vision is sharpest at the center of our gaze and becomes progressively blurry into the periphery. It is widely believed that this high foveal resolution evolved at the expense of peripheral acuity. But what if this sampling scheme is…
