Focal quality metrics for the objective evaluation of confocal microwave images

The Content Based Objective Metrics for Video Quality Evaluation

Performance evaluation of objective quality metrics for HDR image compression

Due to the much larger luminance and contrast characteristics of high dynamic range (HDR) images, wellknown objective quality metrics, widely used for the assessment of low dynamic range (LDR) content, cannot be directly applied to HDR images in order to predict their perceptual fidelity. To overcome this limitation, advanced fidelity metrics, such as the HDR-VDP, have been proposed to accurate...

Parameter Search Algorithms for Microwave Radar-Based Breast Imaging: Focal Quality Metrics as Fitness Functions

Inaccurate estimation of average dielectric properties can have a tangible impact on microwave radar-based breast images. Despite this, recent patient imaging studies have used a fixed estimate although this is known to vary from patient to patient. Parameter search algorithms are a promising technique for estimating the average dielectric properties from the reconstructed microwave images them...

Benchmarking of objective quality metrics for HDR image quality assessment

Recent advances in high dynamic range (HDR) capture and display technologies have attracted a lot of interest from scientific, professional, and artistic communities. As in any technology, the evaluation of HDR systems in terms of quality of experience is essential. Subjective evaluations are time consuming and expensive, and thus objective quality assessment tools are needed as well. In this p...

Subjective and Objective Quality Evaluation of Lightly Distorted Synthetic Images

Measuring visual quality, as perceived by human observers, is becoming increasingly important in a large number of applications in which humans are the ultimate consumers of visual information. To aid in the developing of objective image quality assessment (IQA) algorithms, many natural image databases have been developed that contain the subjective ratings of the images by human observers. Sub...
