Picture quality evaluation strategy using a watermarking technique
J.-N. Campaner, Hocine Cherifi · 2004
Measurement of image quality is crucial for many image processing algorithms. In this paper, a "no-reference" picture quality evaluation is proposed. We use watermarking as a tool for evaluating quality. We embed, in an image, a watermark. Measures are computed between original and extracted watermarks instead of image to evaluate picture quality between the original image and the degraded one. Experimental results show the efficiency of the given approach in the case of JPEG compression.
