No-Reference Image Quality Assessment for distorted images has always been a challenging problem due to image content variance and distortion diversity. Previous IQA models mostly encode explicit single-quality features of synthetic images…
Generally, humans are more skilled at perceiving differences between high-quality (HQ) and low-quality (LQ) images than directly judging the quality of a single LQ image. This situation also applies to image quality assessment (IQA).…
The integral quality monitor (IQM) system compares the signal measured with a large volume chamber mounted to the linear accelerator's head to the signal calculated using the patient DICOM RT plan for patient-specific quality assurance…
Full-reference image quality assessment (FR-IQA) models generally operate by measuring the visual differences between a degraded image and its reference. However, existing FR-IQA models including both the classical ones (eg, PSNR and SSIM)…
Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) reduces patient radiation exposure but introduces substantial noise that degrades image quality and hinders diagnostic accuracy. Existing denoising approaches often require many diffusion steps, limiting…
The content and distortion are widely recognized as the two primary factors affecting the visual quality of an image. While existing No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) methods have modeled these factors, they fail to capture the…
Purpose: Many useful image quality metrics for evaluating linear image reconstruction techniques do not apply to or are difficult to interpret for non-linear image reconstruction. The vast majority of metrics employed for evaluating…
Image Quality Assessment (IQA) models benefit significantly from semantic information, which allows them to treat different types of objects distinctly. Currently, leveraging semantic information to enhance IQA is a crucial research…
The rapid evolution of Multi-modality Large Language Models (MLLMs) has catalyzed a shift in computer vision from specialized models to general-purpose foundation models. Nevertheless, there is still an inadequacy in assessing the abilities…
Interpreting quantitative CT biomarkers, such as organ volume and tissue attenuation, requires large-scale healthy reference distributions. However, creating these is challenging because clinical datasets are often heavily enriched with…
Representation learning offers a conduit to elucidate distinctive features within the latent space and interpret the deep models. However, the randomness of lesion distribution and the complexity of low-quality factors in medical images…

Image Quality Transfer (IQT) aims to enhance the contrast and resolution of low-quality medical images, e.g. obtained from low-power devices, with rich information learned from higher quality images. In contrast to existing IQT methods…
Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) aims to improve low-illumination images. However, existing methods face two challenges: (1) uncertainty in restoration from diverse brightness degradations; (2) loss of texture and color information caused…
One image processing application that is very helpful for humans is to improve image quality, poor image quality makes the image more difficult to interpret because the information conveyed by the image is reduced. In the process of the…
Perceptual image quality assessment (IQA) is the task of predicting the visual quality of an image as perceived by a human observer. Current state-of-the-art techniques are based on deep representations trained in discriminative manner.…
