Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Visual saliency plays a significant role in image quality assessment. Image distortions cause shift of saliency from its original places. Being able to measure such distortion-included saliency variation (DSV) contributes towards the optimal use of saliency in automated image quality assessment. In our previous study a benchmark for the measurement of DSV through subjective testing was built. However, exiting saliency similarity measures are unhelpful for the quantification of DSV due to the fact that DSV highly depends on the dispersion degree of a saliency map. In this paper, we propose a novel similarity metric for the measurement of DSV, namely MDSV, based on convex optimization method. The proposed MDSV metric integrates the local saliency similarity measure and the global saliency similarity measure using the function of saliency dispersion as a modulator. We detail the parameter selection of the proposed metric and the interactions of sub-models for the convex optimization strategy. Statistical analyses show that our proposed MDSV outperforms the existing metrics in quantifying the image quality induced saliency variation.
