  • Abstract
    This paper presents a novel Full Reference method for image quality assessment based on two indices measuring respectively detail loss and spurious detail addition. These indices define a two dimensional (2D) state in a Virtual Cognitive State (VCS) space. The quality estimation is obtained as a 2D function of the VCS, empirically determined via polynomial fitting of DMOS values of training images. The method provides at the same time highly accurate DMOS estimates, and a quantitative account of the causes of quality degradation.
