Although recent efforts in image quality assessment (IQA) have achieved promising performance, there still exists a considerable gap compared to the human visual system (HVS). One significant disparity lies in humans' seamless transition…
Opinion-Unaware Blind Image Quality Assessment (OU-BIQA) models aim to predict image quality without training on reference images and subjective quality scores. Thereinto, image statistical comparison is a classic paradigm, while the…
No reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) is a task to estimate the perceptual quality of an image without its corresponding original image. It is even more difficult to perform this task in a zero-shot manner, i.e., without…
Reliable image quality assessment is essential in applications where large volumes of images are acquired automatically and must be filtered before further analysis. In many practical scenarios, a pristine reference image is unavailable,…
Traditional video quality assessment (VQA) methods evaluate localized picture quality and video score is predicted by temporally aggregating frame scores. However, video quality exhibits different characteristics from static image quality…
Convolutional neural networks have recently been used for multi-focus image fusion. However, due to the lack of labeled data for supervised training of such networks, existing methods have resorted to adding Gaussian blur in focused images…
