A no reference texture granularity index and application to visual media compression
Mahesh M. Subedar, Lina J. Karam · 2015
Texture granularity is an important attribute to quantify the level of details present in the image. This work presents a no-reference texture granularity index and shows using subjective experiments that the proposed granularity index correlates well with the perceived granularity of textures. In addition, a subjective study is conducted to assess the effect of compression on textures with varying degrees of granularity. It is shown that a measure of texture granularity can predict the compression quality.
