A new SVM based emotional classification of image

How high-level emotional representation of art paintings can be inferred from perceptual level features suited for the particular classes (dynamic vs. static classification) is presented. The key points are feature selection and classification. According to the strong relationship between notable lines of image and human sensations, a novel feature vector WLDLV (Weighted Line Direction-Length Vector) is proposed, which includes both orientation and length information of lines in an image. Classification is performed by SVM (Support Vector Machine) and images can be classified into dynamic and static. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of the algorithm.     

A hybrid system for distortion classification and image quality evaluation

Numerous Image Quality Measures (IQMs) have been proposed in the literature with different degrees of success. While some IQMs are more efficient for particular artifacts, they are inefficient for others. The researchers in this field agree that there is no universal IQM which can efficiently estimate image quality across all degradations. In this paper, we overcome this limitation by proposing a new approach based on a degradation classification scheme allowing the selection of the “most appropriate” IQM for each type of degradation. To achieve this, each degradation type is considered here as a particular class and the problem is then formulated as a pattern recognition task. The classification of different degradations is performed using simple Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA). The proposed system is developed to cover a very large set of possible degradations commonly found in practical applications. The proposed method is evaluated in terms of recognition accuracy of degradation type and overall image quality assessment with excellent results compared to traditional approaches. An improvement of around 15% (in terms of correlation with subjective measures) is achieved across different databases.

Attention integrated hierarchical networks for no-reference image quality assessment

Quality assessment of natural images is influenced by perceptual mechanisms, e.g., attention and contrast sensitivity, and quality perception can be generated in a hierarchical process. This paper proposes an architecture of Attention Integrated Hierarchical Image Quality networks (AIHIQnet) for no-reference quality assessment. AIHIQnet consists of three components: general backbone network, perceptually guided neck network, and head network. Multi-scale features extracted from the backbone network are fused to simulate image quality perception in a hierarchical manner. The attention and contrast sensitivity mechanisms modelled by an attention module capture essential information for quality perception. Considering that image rescaling potentially affects perceived quality, appropriate pooling methods in the non-convolution layers in AIHIQnet are employed to accept images with arbitrary resolutions. Comprehensive experiments on publicly available databases demonstrate outstanding performance of AIHIQnet compared to state-of-the-art models. Ablation experiments were performed to investigate the variants of the proposed architecture and reveal importance of individual components.     

基于局部最大梯度的无参考图像质量评价

图像质量评价在数字图像处理中应用广泛,无参考图像质量评价更是近些年来的研究热点。该文提出一种基于局部结构的无参考图像质量评价方法,该方法首先利用局部梯度选择强边缘区域,然后通过强边缘的信息来评价图像的质量。该方法的创新之处在于:基于局部最大梯度的像素点质量评价;利用强边缘点的局部质量来估计全局图像质量。该方法可以同时评价噪声图像和模糊图像,图像失真越严重,该方法的评价分数就越低。与图像质量评价数据库的主观评价结果比较表明,该文方法与主观评价结果相关性很强,能很好地反映图像质量的视觉感知效果。     

An efficient and effective blind camera image quality metric via modeling quaternion wavelet coefficients

As an extension of Discrete and Complex Wavelet Transform, Quaternion Wavelet Transform (QWT) has attracted extensive attention in the past few years, because it can provide better analytic representation for 2D images. The QWT of an image consists of four parts, i.e., one magnitude part and three phase parts. The magnitude is nearly shift-invariant, which characterizes features at any spatial location, and the three phases represent the structure of these features. This indicates that QWT is more powerful in representing image structures, and thus is suitable for image quality evaluation. In this paper, an efficient and effective Camera Image Quality Metric (CIQM) is proposed based on QWT, which is utilized to describe the intrinsic structures of an image. For an image, it is first decomposed by QWT with three scales. Then, for each scale, the magnitude and entropy of the subband coefficients, and natural scene statistics of the third phase are calculated. The magnitude is utilized to describe the generalized spectral behavior, and the entropy is used to encode the generalized information of distortions. Since the third phase of QWT is considered to be texture feature, the natural scene statistics of the third phase of QWT is used to measure structure degradations in the proposed method. All these features reflect the self-similarity and independency of image content, which can effectively reflect image distortions. Finally, random forest is utilized to build the quality model. Experiments conducted on three camera image databases and two multiply distorted image databases have proved that CIQM outperforms the relevant state-of-the-art models for both authentically distorted images and multiply distorted images.

Blind image quality assessment with channel attention based deep residual network and extended LargeVis dimensionality reduction

Image Quality Assessment (IQA) is one of the fundamental problems in the fields of image processing, image/video coding and transmission, and so on. In this paper, a Blind Image Quality Assessment (BIQA) approach with channel attention based deep Residual Network (ResNet)and extended LargeVis dimensionality reduction is proposed. Firstly, ResNet50 with channel attention mechanism is used as the backbone network to extract the deep features from the image. In order to reduce the dimensionality of the deep features, LargeVis, which is originally designed for the visualization of large scale high-dimensional data, is extended by using Support Vector Regression (SVR) to perform on a single feature vector data. The extended LargeVis can remove the redundant information of the deep features so as to obtain a low-dimensional and discriminative feature representation. Finally, the quality prediction model is established by using SVR as the fitting method. The low-dimensional feature representation and quality score of the image form the pair-wise data samples to train the fitting model. Experimental results on authentic distortions datasets and synthetic distortions datasets show that our proposed method can achieve superior performance compared with the state-of-the-art methods.

Reduced reference image quality assessment based on statistics in empirical mode decomposition domain

This paper deals with the image quality assessment (IQA) task using a natural image statistics approach. A reduced reference (RRIQA) measure based on the bidimensional empirical mode decomposition is introduced. First, we decompose both, reference and distorted images, into intrinsic mode functions (IMF) and then we use the generalized Gaussian density (GGD) to model IMF coefficients of the reference image. Finally, we measure the impairment of a distorted image by fitting error between the IMF coefficients histogram of the distorted image and the estimated IMF coefficients distribution of the reference image, using the Kullback–Leibler divergence (KLD). Furthermore, to predict the quality, we propose a new support vector machine-based (SVM) classification approach as an alternative to logistic function-based regression. In order to validate the proposed measure, three benchmark datasets are involved in our experiments. Results demonstrate that the proposed metric compare favorably with alternative solutions for a wide range of degradation encountered in practical situations.     

基于非局部梯度的图像质量评价算法

图像质量评价研究的目标在于模拟人类视觉系统对图像质量的感知过程,构建与主观评价结果尽可能一致的客观评价算法。现有的很多算法都是基于局部结构相似设计的,但人对图像的主观感知是高级的、语义的过程,而语义信息本质上是非局部的,因此图像质量评价应该考虑图像的非局部信息。该文突破了经典的基于局部信息的算法框架,提出一种基于非局部信息的框架,并在此框架内构建了一种基于非局部梯度的图像质量评价算法,该算法通过度量参考图像与失真图像的非局部梯度之间的相似性来预测图像质量。在公开测试数据库TID2008, LIVE, CSIQ上的数值实验结果表明,该算法能获得较好的评价效果。     

Unsupervised change detection on SAR images using fuzzy hidden Markov chains

This work deals with unsupervised change detection in temporal sets of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images. We focus on one of the most widely used change detector in the SAR context, the so-called log-ratio. In order to deal with the classification issue, we propose to use a new fuzzy version of hidden Markov chains (HMCs), and thus to address fuzzy change detection with a statistical approach. The main characteristic of the proposed model is to simultaneously use Dirac and Lebesgue measures at the class chain level. This allows the coexistence of hard pixels (obtained with the classical HMC segmentation) and fuzzy pixels (obtained with the fuzzy measure) in the same image. The quality assessment of the proposed method is achieved with several bidate sets of simulated images, and comparisons with classical HMC are also provided. Experimental results on real European Remote Sensing 2 Precision Image (ERS-2 PRI) images confirm the effectiveness of the proposed approach.
