Human Visual Perception-based Image Quality Analyzer for Assessment of Contrast Enhancement Methods
Chen Soong Der · The International Arab Journal of Information Technology · 2016
Absolute Mean Brightness Error (AMBE) and entropy are two popular Image Quality Analyzer (IQA) metrics used for assessment of Histogram Equalization (HE)-based contrast enhancement methods. However, recent study shows that they have poor correlation with Human Visual Perception (HVP); Pearson Correlation Coefficient (PCC) 0.9). It outperforms all IQAs in study, including two prominent IQAs designed for assessment of image fidelity in image coding-Multi-Scale Structural Similarity (MSSIM) and information fidelity criterion.
