EDDMF: An Efficient Deep Discrepancy Measuring Framework for Full-Reference Light Field Image Quality Assessment
Summary
This study introduces a novel deep learning framework for assessing Light Field Image (LFI) quality. The method efficiently measures discrepancies between reference and distorted LFI patches for accurate quality evaluation.
Area of Science:
- Computer Vision
- Image Processing
- Deep Learning
Background:
- Growing demand for immersive experiences drives research in Light Field Image (LFI) quality assessment.
- Existing methods may face challenges in efficiently evaluating LFI quality degradation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose an efficient deep discrepancy measuring framework for full-reference LFI quality assessment.
- To develop a novel metric that accurately evaluates quality degradation in distorted LFIs.
Main Methods:
- A patch generation module extracts spatio-angular and sub-aperture patches to reduce computational cost.
- A hierarchical discrepancy network using CNNs extracts features from spatio-angular patches.
- Local discrepancy features from sub-aperture patches are used as complementary information.
- Angular-dominant and spatial-dominant features are combined for patch quality evaluation.
Main Results:
- The proposed framework achieves superior performance compared to state-of-the-art metrics.
- Demonstrates lower computational complexity in LFI quality assessment.
- Validated on four representative LFI datasets.
Conclusions:
- The developed framework is the first patch-based, full-reference LFI quality assessment metric utilizing deep learning.
- Offers an efficient and effective solution for LFI quality evaluation.
