Sumario: | In this paper we propose a novel Blind Image Quality Assessment via Self-Affine Analysis (BIQSAA) method by considering the wavelet transform as a linear operation that decomposes a complex signal into elementary blocks at different scales or resolutions. BIQSAA decomposes a distorted image into a set of wavelet planes ω(λ, ϕ) of different spatial frequencies λ and spatial orientations ϕ, and it transforms these wavelet planes into one-dimension vector Ω using a Hilbert scanning. From the vector Ω there were obtained their wavelet coefficient fluctuations estimated by the inverse of the Hurst exponent in decibels, whose scaling-law or fractal behavior was obtained by applying Fractal Geometry or Self-Affine Analysis. The scaling exponents calculated for the coefficient fluctuation behavior of Image Lena at 24bpp, at 1.375bpp, and at 0.50bpp were H(24bpp) = 0.0395, H(1.375bpp) = 0.0551, and H(0.50bpp) = 0.0612, respectively. Our experiments show that BIQSAA algorithm improves in 14.36% the Human Visual System correlation, respect to the four state-of-the-art No-Reference Image Quality Assessments. |
