Two-stream interactive network based on local and global information for No-Reference Stereoscopic Image Quality Assessment

Nowadays, stereoscopic image quality assessment (SIQA) based on convolutional neural network (CNN) has become the mainstream model of image quality assessment (IQA). Compared with the two-dimensional quality evaluation model, stereoscopic image quality evaluation is more challenging due to the effects of depth and parallax information. In this paper, we propose a two-stream interactive network model to perform quality evaluation, which can well simulate the process of human stereo visual perception. Meanwhile, we enhance the extraction of local and global features of images by asymmetric convolution kernel and interactive sub-networks of inter-layers, respectively, which can further optimize our network model. Our proposed algorithm was evaluated on four public databases. The final experimental results show that our proposed algorithm exhibits good performance not only on the whole database but also on each single distortion type.
