Image Quality Assessment Categories

There are several techniques and metrics that can be measured objectively and automatically evaluated by a computer program. Therefore, they can be classified as full-reference (FR) methods and no-reference (NR) methods. In FR image quality assessment methods, the quality of a test image is evaluated by comparing it with a reference image that is assumed to have perfect quality. NR metrics try to assess the quality of an image without any reference to the original one.

For example, comparing an original image to the output of JPEG compression of that image is full-reference – it uses the original as reference.

Famous quotes containing the words image, quality, assessment and/or categories:

    What is a child, monsieur, but the image of two beings, the fruit of two sentiments spontaneously blended?
    Honoré De Balzac (1799–1850)

    All morality depends upon our sentiments; and when any action or quality of the mind pleases us after a certain manner we say it is virtuous; and when the neglect or nonperformance of it displeases us after a like manner, we say that we lie under an obligation to perform it.
    David Hume (1711–1776)

    The first year was critical to my assessment of myself as a person. It forced me to realize that, like being married, having children is not an end in itself. You don’t at last arrive at being a parent and suddenly feel satisfied and joyful. It is a constantly reopening adventure.
    —Anonymous Mother. From the Boston Women’s Health Book Collection. Quoted in The Joys of Having a Child, by Bill and Gloria Adler (1993)

    all the categories which we employ to describe conscious mental acts, such as ideas, purposes, resolutions, and so on, can be applied to ... these latent states.
    Sigmund Freud (1856–1939)
