  • Abstract
    A new image quality metric consistent with the properties of the human visual system is derived. Using the EM algorithm, the authors restore a blurred image and quantify the improvement in image quality with both the new metric and the mean square error (MSE). From these results, the advantages of the new metric are obvious. The EM algorithm is modified according to the underlying mathematical structure of the new metric, which results in improved performance
