Despite significant<br />research effort in IQA in the past few decades, the area of noreference<br />image quality assessment remains a great challenge and<br />is largely unsolved. In this paper, we propose a novel no-reference<br />image quality assessment system called Deep Quality, which leverages<br />the power of deep learning to model the complex relationship<br />between visual content and the perceived quality. Deep Quality<br />consists of a novel multi-scale deep convolutional neural network,<br />trained to learn to assess image quality based on training samples<br />consisting of different distortions and degradations such as blur,<br />Gaussian noise, and compression artifacts. Preliminary results using<br />the CSIQ benchmark image quality dataset showed that Deep<br />Quality was able to achieve strong quality prediction performance<br />(89% patch-level and 98% image-level prediction accuracy), being<br />able to achieve similar performance as full-reference IQA methods.</p> ER -
