基于多尺度失真感知特征的重定向图像质量评估

在不同宽高比显示设备上的图像观看体验通常受到图像重定向操作方法的影响。为了提高重定向图像主观感知与客观评估之间的一致性，提出了基于多尺度失真感知特征（MSDA）的客观重定向图像质量评估（RIQA）方法。语义失真和细节失真经常出现在图像的不同尺度上，因此从图像的不同尺度中提取失真感知特征。提出了一个描述原始图像和重定向图像之间的宽高比相似度（ARS）的精确度量。此外，使用视觉注意力融合图来模拟人类视觉系统对图像的主观关注度。在2个基准数据库上的实验结果表明，所提出的MSDA方法的肯德尔排名相关系数（KRCC）、皮尔逊线性相关系数（PLCC）和斯皮尔曼秩次相关系数（SRCC）指标分别比对比方法中最优方法提高4.1%、1.8%和4.5%。 

Retargeted image quality assessment based on multi-scale distortion-aware feature

The subjective visual experience of viewing images using a variety of display devices is usually affected by image retargeting operation. To improve the consistency between subjective perception and objective assessment for the retargeted images, we present an objective retargeted image quality assessment (RIQA) method based on multi-scale distortion-aware (MSDA) features. Because semantic distortion and detail distortion appear on different scales of the image, we propose to extract distortion-aware features from multiple scales of the image. Specifically, we present an accurate measurement for the aspect ratio similarity (ARS) between the original and retargeted images. Furthermore, we use a fused visual attention map to simulate the subjective attention of the human visual system to the image. The experimental results on the two benchmark databases show that the Kendall rank correlation coefficient (KRCC), Pearson linear correlation coefficient (PLCC), and Spearman rank-order correlation coefficient (SRCC) indicators of the proposed MSDA method are 4.1%, 1.8%, and 4.5% higher than the optimal method in the comparative methods, respectively.
