Bit depth adaptation, where the bit depth of a video sequence is reduced before transmission and up-sampled during display, can potentially reduce data rates with limited impact on perceptual quality. In this context, we conducted a…
This paper describes a quality assessment model for perceptual video compression applications (PVM), which stimulates visual masking and distortion-artefact perception using an adaptive combination of noticeable distortions and blurring…
Point Pair Features is a widely used method to detect 3D objects in point clouds, however they are prone to fail in presence of sensor noise and background clutter. We introduce novel sampling and voting schemes that significantly reduces…
Pairwise comparison data arise in many domains with subjective assessment experiments, for example in image and video quality assessment. In these experiments observers are asked to express a preference between two conditions. However, many…
In a subjective experiment to evaluate the perceptual audiovisual quality of multimedia and television services, raw opinion scores collected from test subjects are often noisy and unreliable. To produce the final mean opinion scores (MOS),…
We propose a new method for the visual quality assessment of 360-degree (omnidirectional) videos. The proposed method is based on computing multiple spatio-temporal objective quality features on viewports extracted from 360-degree videos. A…
VMAF is a machine learning based video quality assessment method, originally designed for streaming applications, which combines multiple quality metrics and video features through SVM regression. It offers higher correlation with…
One of the most used approaches for providing recommendations in various online environments such as e-commerce is collaborative filtering. Although, this is a simple method for recommending items or services, accuracy and quality problems…
When signals are measured through physical sensors, they are perturbed by noise. To reduce noise, low-pass filters are commonly employed in order to attenuate high frequency components in the incoming signal, regardless if they come from…
Advances in image compression, storage, and display technologies have made high-quality images and videos widely accessible. At this level of quality, distinguishing between compressed and original content becomes difficult, highlighting…
Stereoscopic video technologies have been introduced to the consumer market in the past few years. A key factor in designing a 3D system is to understand how different visual cues and distortions affect the perceptual quality of…
Research on video frame interpolation has made significant progress in recent years. However, existing methods mostly use off-the-shelf metrics to measure the quality of interpolation results with the exception of a few methods that employ…
In this paper, we propose a new full-reference quality metric for mobile 3D content. Our method is modeled around the Human Visual System, fusing the information of both left and right channels, considering color components, the cyclopean…
Many different parametric models for video quality assessment have been proposed in the past few years. This paper presents a review of nine recent models which cover a wide range of methodologies and have been validated for estimating…
In this paper, we address the well-known image quality assessment problem but in contrast from existing approaches that predict image quality independently for every images, we propose to jointly model different images depicting the same…
Perceptual video quality assessment plays a vital role in the field of video processing due to the existence of quality degradations introduced in various stages of video signal acquisition, compression, transmission and display. With the…
Simple quality metrics such as PSNR are known to not correlate well with subjective quality when tested across a wide spectrum of video content or quality regime. Recently, efforts have been made in designing objective quality metrics…
This paper introduces a novel double stimulus subjective assessment methodology for the evaluation of high quality images to address the limitations of existing protocols in detecting subtle perceptual differences. The In-place Double…
Collaborative filtering is the process of making recommendations regarding the potential preference of a user, for example shopping on the Internet, based on the preference ratings of the user and a number of other users for various items.…
Robotic affordance estimation is challenging due to visual, geometric, and semantic ambiguities in sensory input. We propose a method that disambiguates these signals using two coupled recursive estimators for sub-aspects of affordances:…
