The invention discloses a non-
reference image availability evaluation method based on hierarchical
feature fusion. Comprising the following steps: firstly, respectively extracting a low-layer
image quality feature vector, a middle-layer structure
feature vector and a high-layer
semantic feature vector of a to-be-evaluated image; thirdly, performing normalization
processing and splicing on the feature vectors respectively; and then, inputting the total
feature vector into a regression network of an integrated hierarchical attention fuser, dynamically learning the contribution weight of each level feature to a final availability
score by the network through a multi-head self-attention mechanism, performing regression prediction, and outputting an availability evaluation
score of the image. According to the method, multi-dimensional features from
image quality to
semantics are systematically fused, so that the fundamental transformation of an evaluation target from
human visual perception quality to
machine task availability is realized, and an
evaluation result is strongly related to high-level
visual task performance such as target detection and attitude
estimation; the method is suitable for image screening and
quality control of scenes such as automatic driving and intelligent monitoring.
