Testing of New Models of the Human Visual System for Image Quality Evaluation

Published in: Signal Processing and Its Applications, 2003

Abstract

This article deals with evaluation of image quality by various methods and comparison of their results. Generally, there are several ways how to assess image quality. Three main approaches are: subjective testing, objective testing and image quality evaluation using a human visual system model (HVS). The subjective testing is based on human perception, the objective testing on a mathematical computing and the human vision models on mathematical modelling of the human vision with respecting the human perception properties. Then, the described methods and two nocel designed HVS models are used for image quality evaluation using a set of images. The results of modelling were compared with results of the subjective and objective methods.
