Problems solved by technology

Ni et al. proposed a quality assessment method for SCI based on the gradient direction. The experimental results show that the method is simple and effective, but it ignores the effects of certain types of distortion, such as brightness changes and contrast changes, and the gradient direction is not sensitive to these

Embodiment Construction

[0050] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0051] Compared with natural images, SCI has obvious differences in feature statistics, SCI is composed of text, graphics and pictures, has a large amount of edge information, and the human visual system (HVS) is highly sensitive to edges. Inspired by these facts, this embodiment uses the imaginary part of the Gabor filter to extract image edge features. At the same time, it is observed that each SCI has a certain characteristic layout, and the structural changes are also highly correlated with the image quality, so the Scharr filter and the local binary pattern (LBP) operator are combined to extract the structural features of the image. Finally, through random forest training, a quality evaluation model that is highly consistent with human subjective evaluation can be obtained. This embodiment is applicable to images of various distortion types, and the q...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for evaluating the image quality of screen content based on edge and structural features, comprising the following steps: Step S1: converting an input image from RGB color space to LMN color space, and then applying the imaginary part of the Gabor filter to L In terms of components, the edge features of the image are extracted; Step S2: Convert the input image into a grayscale image, use the Scharr filter to calculate the gradient image on the grayscale image, and then use the local binary pattern (LBP) operator on the gradient image. Calculate the LBP map, and then calculate the structural features of the image on the gradient map according to the LBP map; Step S3: According to the two features in steps S1 and S2, use random forest to train the image evaluation model, and use the trained model to predict all tests. The quality score of the image. By considering the characteristics of the human visual system and combining the edge and structural features of the image to evaluate the image quality, the invention can significantly improve the quality evaluation performance of the non-referenced image.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the fields of image and video processing and computer vision, in particular to a method for evaluating the image quality of screen content based on edge and structural features. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of the Internet, Screen Content Image (SCI) is widely used in modern multimedia, such as wireless display, distance education, screen sharing, real-time communication, etc. However, due to the defects of technology and equipment, distortion often occurs in the process of image acquisition, compression and transmission. In order to better apply screen content images, image quality evaluation becomes particularly important. Many quality assessment methods for this type of images have been proposed. For example, Yang proposed a quality assessment method based on uncertainty weighting by considering the different effects of text regions and image regions on SCI visual quality. Later, Yang et al. pr...
