基于方向曲率分析,实现图像伪影分类与质量量化。

A Parametric Bi-Directional Curvature-Based Framework for Image Artifact Classification and Quantification

  • 通过像素级各向异性纹理丰富度测量,捕捉图像伪影特征。
  • 对模糊和噪声的感知相关性达-0.93与-0.95,分类准确率超97%。
  • 适合图像质量评估、自动化质检及多媒体系统优化场景。

本文提出一种基于方向图像曲率分析的无参考图像质量评估框架。该框架定义了像素级各向异性纹理丰富度(ATR)度量,利用两个可调阈值(宽松与严格)量化正交纹理抑制程度。当参数针对特定伪影优化时,所得ATR评分作为高质量指标,在LIVE数据集上对高斯模糊和白噪声的人类感知相关性分别达到约-0.93和-0.95。核心贡献为两阶段系统:首先通过两种专用ATR配置的响应差异,以超过97%准确率分类主要伪影类型(模糊或噪声);其次,根据分类结果,使用专用回归模型将对应ATR得分映射为质量评分。在综合数据集上,系统预测人类评分的决定系数(R²)达0.892,均方根误差(RMSE)为5.17 DMOS点,仅占数据集总质量范围的7.4%,表现出优异预测精度。该框架为图像退化分类与量化提供了鲁棒的双功能工具。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This work presents a novel framework for No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) founded on the analysis of directional image curvature. Within this framework, we define a measure of Anisotropic Texture Richness (ATR), which is computed at the pixel level using two tunable thresholds -- one permissive and one restrictive -- that quantify orthogonal texture suppression. When its parameters are optimized for a specific artifact, the resulting ATR score serves as a high-performance quality metric, achieving Spearman correlations with human perception of approximately -0.93 for Gaussian blur and -0.95 for white noise on the LIVE dataset. The primary contribution is a two-stage system that leverages the differential response of ATR to various distortions. First, the system utilizes the signature from two specialist ATR configurations to classify the primary artifact type (blur vs. noise) with over 97% accuracy. Second, following classification, it employs a dedicated regression model mapping the relevant ATR score to a quality rating to quantify the degradation. On a combined dataset, the complete system predicts human scores with a coefficient of determination (R2) of 0.892 and a Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) of 5.17 DMOS points. This error corresponds to just 7.4% of the dataset's total quality range, demonstrating high predictive accuracy. This establishes our framework as a robust, dual-purpose tool for the classification and subsequent quantification of image degradation.
