研究目的
To develop a no-reference image quality assessment method for high dynamic range images based on tensor space to overcome the limitations of full-reference methods in practical applications.
研究成果
The proposed NR HDR IQA method, based on tensor space and combining color, manifold structure, and contrast features, shows high consistency with human visual perception and outperforms existing methods on the Nantes database. Future work will focus on more efficient feature extraction and extending to HDR video quality assessment.
研究不足
The method relies on training with specific image formats (.hdr and .pfm), which may limit generalizability to other HDR formats. Performance on the EPFL database is not optimal compared to HDR-VDP-2.2, indicating potential areas for improvement in feature extraction or model training.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The method involves representing HDR images as third-order tensors, applying Tucker3 decomposition to generate three feature maps, extracting multi-scale manifold structure features from the first feature map using PCA and OLPP algorithms, and extracting multi-scale contrast features from the second and third feature maps using standard deviation calculations. Support vector regression is used to aggregate features into a quality score.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Two public HDR image databases are used: the Nantes database with .hdr format images and the EPFL database with .pfm format images. Training sets include 10 non-distorted HDR images from DML-HDR set for Nantes and randomly selected 10 from EPFL for EPFL database testing.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
No specific equipment or materials are mentioned; the method is computational and uses software algorithms.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Steps include tensor decomposition of HDR images, feature extraction from feature maps at multiple scales, and SVR-based quality prediction. Performance is evaluated using PLCC, SROCC, and RMSE metrics after nonlinear fitting.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Performance is assessed using Pearson linear correlation coefficient (PLCC), Spearman rank order correlation coefficient (SROCC), and root-mean-square error (RMSE). Data is fitted with a five-parameter logistic function to predict MOS.
