Book Description
Computer vision algorithms have been widely used for many applications, including traffic monitoring, autonomous driving, robot path planning and navigation, object detection and medical image analysis, etc. Images and videos are typical input to computer vision algorithms and the performance of computer vision algorithms are highly correlated with the quality of input signal. The quality of videos and images are impacted by vision sensors; environmental conditions, such as lighting, rain, fog and wind. Therefore, it is a very active research issue to determine the failure mode of computer vision by automatically measuring the quality of images and videos. In the literature, many algorithms have been proposed to measure image and video qualities using reference images. However, measuring the quality of image and video without using a reference image, known as no-reference image quality assessment, is a very challenging problem. Most existing methods use a manual feature extraction and a classification technique to model image and video quality. Internal image statics are considered as feature vectors and classical machine learning techniques such as support vector machine and naive Bayes as the classifier. Using convolutional neural network (CNN) to learn the internal statistic of distorted images is a newly developed but efficient way to solve the problem. However, there are also new challenges in image quality assessment field. One of them is the wide spread of computer vision systems. Those systems, like human viewers, also demand a certain method to measure the quality of input images, but with their own standards. Inspired by the challenge, in this thesis, we propose to build an image quality assessment system based on convolutional neural network that can work for both human and computer vision system. In specific, we build 2 models: DAQ1 and DAQ2 with different design concept and evaluate their performance. Both models can work well with human visual system and outperform most former state-of-art Image Quality Assessment (IQA) methods. On computer vision system side, the models also show certain level of prediction power and reveal the potential of CNNs in facing this challenge. The performance in estimating image quality is first evaluated using 2 standard data-sets and against three state-of-the art image quality methods. Further, the performance in automatically detecting the failure mode computer vision algorithm is evaluated using Miovision's computer vision algorithm and datasets.

Book Description
Image quality assessment presents a substantial interest for image services that target human observers. Indeed, Image quality can be measured in two different ways. The first, called "subjective quality assessment", is the obvious approach given the subjective nature of the visual data quality. The second one is called "objective quality assessment" that automatically allow to produce values that score image quality. There exists a large array of objective image quality assessment measures for which a taxonomic scheme has been proposed in the beginning of this manuscript. In fact, the first objective of this thesis is to provide a complete and thorough statistical predictive performance assessment of a variety of full-reference objective quality measures over number of subjectively rated image quality databases. The second is to define the image attributes that are the most relevant to its quality evaluation. Two feature selection methods have been used including the structural risk minimization and the neural network based approaches. This allowed us to develop two new objective reduced-reference image quality metrics where the image quality assessment requires the use of only a few features of the reference and the test images. The third objective of this research work is to exploit the supervised machine learning techniques, especially the multilayer perceptron based model, for automatic image quality appreciation. The system learns from the subjective quality scores and builds a model capable to further provide an objective measure that continues to match with the human opinion to any other image. The main target was to optimize the predictive performance of the developed measures according to correlation, monotonicity and accuracy. The default cost function based on error was employed for the first developed measure (that we called ECF) and a customized cost function based on correlation was proposed to design the second metric (that we called CCF). The comparative investigation to eighteen other full-reference image quality algorithms over three image quality databases shows that both ECF and CCF take into consideration the nonlinearities of the human visual system. The ECF is more accurate than the majority of the metrics under study, while the CCF outperforms all its counterparts in terms of correlation and hence monotonicity.
