With the rapid development of Internet technology, images on the Internet are used in various aspects of people’s lives. The security and authorization of images are strongly dependent on image quality. Some potential problems have also emerged, among which the quality assessment and denoising of images are particularly evident. This paper proposes a novel NR-IQA method based on the dual convolutional neural network structure, which combines saliency detection with the human visual system (HSV), used as a weighting function to reflect the important distortion caused by the local area. The model is trained using gray and color features in the HSV space. It is applied to the parameter selection of an image denoising algorithm. The experiment proves that our proposed method can accurately evaluate image quality in the process of denoising. It provides great help in parameter optimization iteration and improves the performance of the algorithm. Through experiments, we obtain both improved image quality and a reasonable result of subject assessment when the cascaded algorithm is applied in image security and authorization.
