Color and intensity are two important components in an image. Usually, groups of image pixels, which are similar in color or intensity, are an informative representation for an object. They are therefore particularly suitable for computer…
Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) have shown remarkable success in various computer vision tasks. However, their black-box nature often leads to difficulty in interpreting their decisions, creating an unfilled need for methods to explain the…
Recent research has widely explored the problem of aesthetics assessment of images with generic content. However, few approaches have been specifically designed to predict the aesthetic quality of images containing human faces, which make…
Correlation plenoptic imaging (CPI) is a scanning-free diffraction-limited 3D optical imaging technique exploiting the peculiar properties of correlated light sources. CPI has been further extended to samples of interest to microscopy, such…
As any savvy online shopper knows, second-hand peer-to-peer marketplaces are filled with images of mixed quality. How does image quality impact marketplace outcomes, and can quality be automatically predicted? In this work, we conducted a…
Blind image quality assessment is a challenging task particularly due to the unavailability of reference information. Training a deep neural network requires a large amount of training data which is not readily available for image quality.…
Perceptual similarity scores that align with human vision are critical for both training and evaluating computer vision models. Deep perceptual losses, such as LPIPS, achieve good alignment but rely on complex, highly non-linear…
Image representation and classification are two fundamental tasks towards multimedia content retrieval and understanding. The idea that shape and texture information (e.g. edge or orientation) are the key features for visual representation…
A problem of image denoising when images are corrupted by a non-stationary noise is considered in this paper. Since in practice no a priori information on noise is available, noise statistics should be pre-estimated for image denoising. In…
The perception of color is one of the most important aspects of human vision. From an evolutionary perspective, the accurate perception of color is crucial to distinguishing friend from foe, and food from fatal poison. As a result, humans…
In Masked Image Modeling (MIM), two primary methods exist: Pixel MIM and Latent MIM, each utilizing different reconstruction targets, raw pixels and latent representations, respectively. Pixel MIM tends to capture low-level visual details…
Acquired images for medical and other purposes can be affected by noise from both the equipment used in the capturing or the environment. This can have adverse effect on the information therein. Thus, the need to restore the image to its…
Color constancy and color illusion perception are two phenomena occurring in the human visual system, which can help us reveal unknown mechanisms of human perception. For decades computer vision scientists have developed numerous color…
Image quality assessment often relies on raw opinion scores provided by subjects in subjective experiments, which can be noisy and unreliable. To address this issue, postprocessing procedures such as ITU-R BT.500, ITU-T P.910, and ITU-T…
Smartphone is the superstar product in digital device market and the quality of smartphone camera photos (SCPs) is becoming one of the dominant considerations when consumers purchase smartphones. How to evaluate the quality of smartphone…
The real-world applications of 3D point clouds have been growing rapidly in recent years, but not much effective work has been dedicated to perceptual quality assessment of colored 3D point clouds. In this work, we first build a large 3D…
Image colorization is the process of colorizing grayscale images or recoloring an already-color image. This image manipulation can be used for grayscale satellite, medical and historical images making them more expressive. With the help of…
Assessing the similarity of two images is a complex task that attracts significant efforts in the image processing community. The widely used Structural Similarity Index Measure (SSIM) addresses this problem by quantifying a perceptual…
Conventional images/videos are often rendered within the central vision area of the human visual system (HVS) with uniform quality. Recent virtual reality (VR) device with head mounted display (HMD) extends the field of view (FoV)…
Despite significant strides in visual quality assessment, the neural mechanisms underlying visual quality perception remain insufficiently explored. This study employed fMRI to examine brain activity during image quality assessment and…
