On Contrast Sensitivity in an Image Difference Model
نویسندگان
چکیده
The importance of the human contrast sensitivity function (CSF) in a color image difference metric is examined. The contrast sensitivity function is used to extend traditional color difference equations for use with complex image stimulus. Three CSF models of various complexities are evaluated using psychophysical image difference data. Additionally, two models of spatial frequency adaptation are evaluated. These models adjust the peak sensitivity and general shape of the contrast sensitivity functions to better correlate with complex stimuli.

Introduction: Digital radiography possesses a wide dynamic range and has a major advantage in producing an acceptable image of diagnostic value even though overexposure occurs. Lumbar spine (LS) radiography is the most common examinations that gives high radiation dose to patients and accounts for the highest collective population dose of any conventional radiographic ...

Due to some physiological and physical limitations in the brain and the eye, the human visual system (HVS) is unable to perceive some changes in the visual signal whose range is lower than a certain threshold so-called just-noticeable distortion (JND) threshold. Visual attention (VA) provides a mechanism for selection of particular aspects of a visual scene so as to reduce the computational loa...
