Problems solved by technology

The change of image structure will lead to the decline of image quality, and one of the manifestations of image structure change is the change of gradient phase and gradient amplitude. The existing objective evaluation methods do not fully combine the visual characteristics of human eyes, or only consider the gradient amplitude. The influence of the change of the gradient phase on the image quality, or only considering the influence of the change of the gradient phase on the image quality, resulting in poor correlation between the final objective evaluation result and the subjective perception

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for objectively evaluating image quality. The method comprises the following steps of: dividing a reference image and a distorted image into an edge region, a texture region and a planar region in a combined way according to gradient amplitude information of each pixel point in the reference image and the distorted image; performing phase quantization coding on the reference image and the distorted image according to a gradient phase and a gradient amplitude of each pixel point in each region; calculating hamming distances for the phase quantization coding of different regions of the reference image and the distorted image; and giving different weights to the hamming distances of the different regions according to a human visual system so as to acquire a final object score of image quality evaluation. In the method, since the influence of variation of the distorted image relative to the gradient amplitude and the gradient phase of the reference image on the quality of the distorted image is comprehensively considered, an objective evaluation result obtained by the method has high consistency with a human eye subjective perception result; in addition, the method has low calculation complexity and high running speed.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an image quality evaluation method, in particular to an image objective quality evaluation method. Background technique [0002] Image quality evaluation is involved in the fields of image acquisition, compression, storage, transmission and reconstruction. However, real-time image processing technology needs a low-complexity, easy-to-hardware implementation of image quality evaluation method that can combine the characteristics of human eyes. Image quality evaluation methods can be divided into subjective evaluation methods and objective evaluation methods. The subjective evaluation method is a relatively reliable evaluation method, but the subjective evaluation method is time-consuming, laborious and cannot be operated in real time, so it is necessary to design a reasonable objective evaluation method. The objective evaluation method uses a mathematical model to evaluate image quality, which has the advantages of fast speed,...
