Reduced reference image quality assessment based on tetrolet statistics
Abstract
In this paper, we present a reduced reference image quality assessment (RRIQA) measure, in the Tetrolet transform domain, using natural scene statistics (NSS) approach. The tetrolet transform provides a convenient way to capture local geometric structures. We propose the Gaussian Scale Mixture (GSM) model to characterize the dependencies between tetrolet coefficients. First, the tetrolet transform is applied to the reference and distorted images. Then, a set of statistical features are extracted from tetrolet representations of both images. Finally, a comparison between those features is conducted to quantify the visual degradation. Four datasets were used to evaluate the performances of the proposed measure (LIVE, Cornell- VCL A57, IVC and TID2008), significant improvements were obtained for several distortions. Also, the proposed measure does not depend on the type of distortions or require any training. As a consequence it is a general purpose RRIQA method.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
