Abstract:
An objective assessment method for a stereoscopic image quality combined with manifold characteristics and binocular characteristics trains a matrix after dimensionality reduction and whitening obtained from natural scene plane images through an orthogonal locality preserving projection algorithm, for obtaining a best mapping matrix. Image blocks, not important for visual perception, are removed. After finishing selecting the image blocks, through the best mapping matrix, manifold characteristic vectors of the image blocks are extracted, and a structural distortion of a distorted image is measured according to a manifold characteristic similarity. Considering influences of an image luminance variation on human eyes, a luminance distortion of the distorted image is calculated according to a mean value of the image blocks. After obtaining the manifold similarity and the luminance similarity, quality values of the left and right viewpoint images are processed with linear weighting to obtain a quality value of the distorted stereoscopic image.

Abstract:
An image quality objective evaluation method based on manifold feature similarity is disclosed, which firstly adopts visual salience and visual threshold to remove image blocks which are unimportant to visual perception, namely, uses roughing selection and fine selection; and then utilizes the best mapping matrix after block selection to extract manifold feature vectors of image blocks which are selected from original undistorted natural scene images and distorted images to be evaluated; and then measures the structural distortion of distorted images according to manifold feature similarity; and then considers effects of image brightness changes on human eyes and obtains the brightness distortion of distorted images based on an average value of image blocks, and finally obtains quality scores according to structural distortion and brightness distortion; which allows the method of the present invention to have a higher evaluation accuracy, and also expands the evaluation capacity to various distortions.
