全参考(FR)图像质量评估(IQA)模型假设高质量的“原始”图像作为衡量感知图像质量的参考。然而,在许多应用中,参考图像是高质量的假设可能是不真实的,导致不正确的感知质量预测。为了解决这一问题,我们提出了一种新的两步图像质量预测方法,该方法将无参考和全参考感知质量测量结合到质量预测过程中。无参考模块解释源(参考)图像可能不完美的质量,而全参考组件测量源图像与其可能进一步失真的版本之间的质量差异。一个简单但非常有效的乘法步骤将两个信息源融合成一个可靠的客观预测分数。我们在一个最近设计的主观图像数据库上评估了我们的两步方法,并与全参考方法相比取得了突出的性能,尤其是当参考图像质量较低时。提议的方法可在https://github.com/xianxuyu/2stepqa上公开查阅

英文摘要:
Full-reference (FR) image quality assessment (IQA) models assume a high quality "pristine" image as a reference against which to measure perceptual image quality. In many applications, however, the assumption that the reference image is of high quality may be untrue, leading to incorrect perceptual quality predictions. To address this, we propose a new two-step image quality prediction approach which integrates both no-reference (NR) and full-reference perceptual quality measurements into the quality prediction process. The no-reference module accounts for the possibly imperfect quality of the source (reference) image, while the full-reference component measures the quality differences between the source image and its possibly further distorted version. A simple, yet very efficient, multiplication step fuses the two sources of information into a reliable objective prediction score. We evaluated our two-step approach on a recently designed subjective image database and achieved standout performance compared to full-reference approaches, especially when the reference images were of low quality. The proposed approach is made publicly available at https://github.com/xiangxuyu/2stepQA
