摘要
Stereoscopic image quality assessment is becoming a key issue in stereo image processing technologies. Since human beings are the final receivers of stereo images, an objective stereo image quality assessment model based on the characteristics of human visual system is proposed in this paper. The model is divided into two parts: quality assessment of two view images and stereo perception assessment. The former is firstly established on the basis of the characteristics of luminance nonlinearity, and then the structural similarities of texture, flat, and edge regions are calculated. The later applies the wavelet domain of the absolute disparity image to simulate multi-channel effects, uses the contrast sensitivity function to weight the different spatial frequencies, and assesses the stereo perception of stereo images through human visual signal noise ratio. Finally, the two parts are combined to represent the quality index of stereo images. Experimental results show that the predictive results of the proposed model are consistent with subjective evaluations. Both the correlation coefficient and monotonous are above 0.92, and the mean square errors are less than 6.5 for five different distortion types. These three indices indicate that the proposed model can predict human visual perception well.
