Nowadays, most existing blind image quality assessment (BIQA) models 1) are developed for synthetically-distorted images and often generalize poorly to authentic ones; 2) heavily rely on human ratings, which are prohibitively…
It is widely acknowledged that single image super-resolution (SISR) methods would not perform well if the assumed degradation model deviates from those in real images. Although several degradation models take additional factors into…
Digital images contain a lot of redundancies, therefore, compressions are applied to reduce the image size without the loss of reasonable image quality. The same become more prominent in the case of videos that contains image sequences and…
