Area of Science:

Computer Vision
Image Processing
Multimedia Systems

Background:

Media distribution systems often lack pristine source content for quality assessment.
Full-reference (FR) and reduced-reference (RR) methods are infeasible without original or partial references.
No-reference (NR) methods are applicable but often unreliable for complex distortions.

Purpose of the Study:

To establish a novel paradigm for image quality assessment (IQA) using intermediate degraded references.
To investigate the utility of partially degraded content as a reference for quality evaluation.
To address the limitations of existing IQA methods in practical media delivery chains.

Main Methods:

Proposed a new degraded-reference IQA (DR IQA) paradigm.
Designed DR IQA architectures using a two-stage distortion pipeline with a 6-bit configuration code.
Constructed and released the first large-scale DR IQA databases.

Main Results:

Made novel observations on distortion behavior in multi-stage distortion pipelines.
Developed novel DR IQA models based on these observations.
Demonstrated significant performance improvements of DR IQA models compared to FR and NR baselines.

Conclusions:

Degraded-reference IQA (DR IQA) is a valid and promising paradigm for quality assessment.
DR IQA offers significant performance advantages in multi-stage distortion environments.
Further exploration of DR IQA is warranted for practical media systems.
