• Title: End-to-end deep multi-score model for No-reference stereoscopic image quality assessment
• Authors: Oussama Messai, Aladine Chetouani
• Abstract summary: We use a deep multi-score Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) to estimate stereoscopic image quality without reference. Our model has been trained to perform four tasks: First, predict the left view's quality. Second, predict the quality of the left view. Third and fourth, predict the quality of the stereo view and global quality, respectively, with the global score serving as the ultimate quality.

• Abstract: Deep learning-based quality metrics have recently given significant improvement in Image Quality Assessment (IQA). In the field of stereoscopic vision, information is evenly distributed with slight disparity to the left and right eyes. However, due to asymmetric distortion, the objective quality ratings for the left and right images would differ, necessitating the learning of unique quality indicators for each view. Unlike existing stereoscopic IQA measures which focus mainly on estimating a global human score, we suggest incorporating left, right, and stereoscopic objective scores to extract the corresponding properties of each view, and so forth estimating stereoscopic image quality without reference. Therefore, we use a deep multi-score Convolutional Neural Network (CNN). Our model has been trained to perform four tasks: First, predict the left view's quality. Second, predict the quality of the left view. Third and fourth, predict the quality of the stereo view and global quality, respectively, with the global score serving as the ultimate quality. Experiments are conducted on Waterloo IVC 3D Phase 1 and Phase 2 databases. The results obtained show the superiority of our method when comparing with those of the state-of-the-art.

  We develop an objective quality assessment model named depth quality index (DQI) for efficient no-reference (NR) depth quality assessment of stereoscopic omnidirectional images. Motivated by the perceptual characteristics of the human visual system (HVS), the proposed DQI is built upon multi-color-channel, adaptive viewport selection, and interocular discrepancy features.

We leverage LIQE, an image scene classification and quality assessment model, to capture the quality-aware and scene-specific features as the auxiliary features.

  A major drawback of state-of-the-art NR-IQA techniques is their reliance on a large number of human annotations. We enable the learning of low-level quality features to distortion types by introducing a novel quality-aware contrastive loss. We design zero-shot quality predictions from both pathways in a completely blind setting.

  Blind Omnidirectional Image Quality Assessment (BOIQA) aims to objectively assess the human perceptual quality of omnidirectional images (ODIs) The quality assessment of ODIs is severely hampered by the fact that the existing BOIQA pipeline lacks the modeling of the observer's browsing process. We propose a novel multi-sequence network for BOIQA called Assessor360, which is derived from the realistic multi-assessor ODI quality assessment procedure.
