Abstract
The wide variety of distortions that images are subject to during acquisition, processing, storage, and reproduction can degrade their perceived quality. Since subjective evaluation is time-consuming, expensive, and resource-intensive, objective methods of evaluation have been proposed. One type of these methods, image quality (IQ) metrics, have become very popular and new metrics are proposed continuously. This paper aims to give a survey of one class of metrics, full-reference IQ metrics. First, these IQ metrics were classified into different groups. Second, further IQ metrics from each group were selected and evaluated against six state-of-the-art IQ databases.
期刊介绍:
The growth in all aspects of research in the last decade has led to a multitude of new publications and an exponential increase in published research. Finding a way through the excellent existing literature and keeping up to date has become a major time-consuming problem. Electronic publishing has given researchers instant access to more articles than ever before. But which articles are the essential ones that should be read to understand and keep abreast with developments of any topic? To address this problem Foundations and Trends® in Computer Graphics and Vision publishes high-quality survey and tutorial monographs of the field.
Each issue of Foundations and Trends® in Computer Graphics and Vision comprises a 50-100 page monograph written by research leaders in the field. Monographs that give tutorial coverage of subjects, research retrospectives as well as survey papers that offer state-of-the-art reviews fall within the scope of the journal.
