Image Evaluation Based on Region of Interest

Abstract:

Image quality assessment has broad applications in many fields, how to assess the quality of the image is an attractive research topic. In this paper, a ROIMDE method is proposed based on region of interest (ROI) and dual-scale edge structure similarity (SSIM), the quality assessment of the image is a weighted combination of ROI and non-ROI, the dual-scale edge structure similarity is used in ROI, and the classical structure similarity is applied in non-ROI. Experimental results show that, considering the influence of ROI, our model is more consistent with human subjective visual evaluation.
