Image quality assessment (IQA) is very important for both end-users and service providers since a high-quality image can significantly improve the user's quality of experience (QoE) and also benefit lots of computer vision algorithms. Most…
Subjective perceptual image quality can be assessed in lab studies by human observers. Objective image quality assessment (IQA) refers to algorithms for estimation of the mean subjective quality ratings. Many such methods have been…
Computational visual aesthetics has recently become an active research area. Existing state-of-art methods formulate this as a binary classification task where a given image is predicted to be beautiful or not. In many applications such as…
Since the low quality of document images will greatly undermine the chances of success in automatic text recognition and analysis, it is necessary to assess the quality of document images uploaded in online business process, so as to reject…
Image restoration aims to recover high quality images from inputs degraded by various factors, such as adverse weather, blur, or low light. While recent studies have shown remarkable progress across individual or unified restoration tasks,…
In clinical practice MR images are often first seen by radiologists long after the scan. If image quality is inadequate either patients have to return for an additional scan, or a suboptimal interpretation is rendered. An automatic image…
Super-resolution (SR), a classical inverse problem in computer vision, is inherently ill-posed, inducing a distribution of plausible solutions for every input. However, the desired result is not simply the expectation of this distribution,…
Retinal image quality assessment (RIQA) is essential for controlling the quality of retinal imaging and guaranteeing the reliability of diagnoses by ophthalmologists or automated analysis systems. Existing RIQA methods focus on the RGB…
Image aesthetics assessment (IAA) aims to estimate the aesthetics of images. Depending on the content of an image, diverse criteria need to be selected to assess its aesthetics. Existing works utilize pre-trained vision backbones based on…
Computed Tomography (CT) is a frequently utilized imaging technology that is employed in the clinical diagnosis of many disorders. However, clinical diagnosis, data storage, and management are posed huge challenges by a huge volume of…
Full-reference image quality assessment (FR-IQA) techniques compare a reference and a distorted/test image and predict the perceptual quality of the test image in terms of a scalar value representing an objective score. The evaluation of…
For many computer vision problems, the deep neural networks are trained and validated based on the assumption that the input images are pristine (i.e., artifact-free). However, digital images are subject to a wide range of distortions in…
Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have achieved impressive results today, but not all generated images are perfect. A number of quantitative criteria have recently emerged for generative model, but none of them are designed for a…
With the increasing demand for image-based applications, the efficient and reliable evaluation of image quality has increased in importance. Measuring the image quality is of fundamental importance for numerous image processing…
Learning-based image quality assessment (IQA) has made remarkable progress in the past decade, but nearly all consider the two key components -- model and data -- in isolation. Specifically, model-centric IQA focuses on developing…
We propose a novel certified defense method for Image Quality Assessment (IQA) models based on randomized smoothing with noise applied in the feature space rather than the input space. Unlike prior approaches that inject Gaussian noise…
Deep networks have demonstrated promising results in the field of Image Quality Assessment (IQA). However, there has been limited research on understanding how deep models in IQA work. This study introduces a novel positional masked…
In object recognition applications, object images usually appear with different quality levels. Practically, it is very important to indicate object image qualities for better application performance, e.g. filtering out low-quality object…
Image quality assessment (IQA) is crucial in the evaluation stage of novel algorithms operating on images, including traditional and machine learning based methods. Due to the lack of available quality-rated medical images, most commonly…
To display low-quality broadcast content on high-resolution screens in full-screen format, the application of Super-Resolution (SR), a key consumer technology, is essential. Recently, SR methods have been developed that not only increase…
