Subjective Evaluation Of A Perceptual Quality Metric
Charles Francis Hall · Proceedings of SPIE, the International Society for Optical Engineering/Proceedings of SPIE · 1981
A major problem which has plagued image processing has been the lack of an effective image quality measure. It is well known that common measures which are mathematical and analytically tractable do not correlate with human subjective evaluation. This paper presents the results of a subjective evaluation on twelve versions of a black and white image (the SPIE GIRL) and the rank ordering obtained with three computational measures. It was found that a measure based on a model of the human visual system compared to the subjective evaluation with a correlation of .92.
