Description

A kind of full reference image quality appraisement method for considering gradient direction difference
Technical field
The present invention relates to the technical field of image quality evaluation, more particularly to a kind of full ginseng for considering gradient direction difference Examine image quality evaluating method.
Background technology
Image quality evaluation has important application in many image processing fields.Current image quality evaluating method is main It is divided into subjective assessment and the class of objective evaluation two.Subjective assessment is in certain environment and appointed condition by lineup's class observer Under, by carrying out subjective scoring to distorted image, the quality index of image is finally obtained by the method for statistics again.Due to most The final recipient of number image processing system is people, therefore subjective assessment is the most accurate;But subjective evaluation method flow is complicated, Take time and effort, picture quality can not most importantly be carried out evaluating and monitoring in real time, be difficult to apply to image procossing system Parameter adjustment is instructed in system.Conversely, objective evaluation extracts characteristics of image and obtains quality index by computation model first, can Automatic quality evaluation is realized, and is readily applied in real time image processing system.Method for evaluating objective quality is according to reference to figure The available or utilization power of picture can be generally divided into three classes, i.e., full reference, reduction reference and reference-free quality evaluation.Refer to matter entirely Amount, which is evaluated, is directed to the available situation of reference picture full detail;Reduce reference mass evaluation and there was only partial information for reference picture Or the available situation of feature;And reference-free quality evaluation is for reference picture disabled situation completely, such as video communication system The quality-monitoring of middle receiving terminal.
It is still at most mean square error (MSE) or Y-PSNR to be applied at present in full reference image quality appraisement (PSNR).MSE or PSNR is averaged by the brightness of statistical-reference image and distorted image average on each location of pixels Error, calculates simple, and with clear and definite physical significance, but do not account for sense of the human visual system (HVS) to picture quality Know characteristic, it is not quite identical with human eye subjective assessment.There is scholar to be modeled HVS characteristics afterwards, trial is anti-with mathematical modeling Perception characteristics of the HVS to image is reflected, and frequency domain decomposition is carried out to image, overall evaluation quality is obtained by measuring the collimation error. This kind of quality evaluating method effect based on HVS is preferable, but due to complete not enough to the research of HVS complete mechanisms at present, it is this kind of Also there are many restrictions in method, and computation complexity is generally higher, limits its practical application.
In order to reach preferable balance between quality evaluation performance and computation complexity, there is scholar to attempt by extracting human eye Sensitive image low-level feature, and by the difference degree of comparison reference image and the low-level feature of distorted image come evaluation image Quality.It is also the important evidence that human eye understands picture material because border or gradient information are the important low-level features of image, because This feature frequently as image quality evaluation.But current evaluation algorithms merely with the strength information of gradient, seldom consider mostly The difference of Gradient direction information, and distortion can make the intensity of gradient and direction change simultaneously.And the present invention can be well The problem of solving above.
The content of the invention
Present invention aims at provide a kind of full reference image quality appraisement method for considering gradient direction difference, this method When carrying out image quality evaluation, the difference of gradient intensity information is not only make use of, and efficiently utilize gradient direction The difference of information, therefore performance is evaluated with better quality, and also this method calculates simple, and complexity is very low, is adapted to large quantities of The automated graphics quality evaluation of amount.

If the gradient intensity figure for the four direction that reference picture is obtained with distorted image after Prewitt gradient operator convolution It is expressed as Rh、Rv、Rd、RsAnd Dh、Dv、Dd、Ds, that is, it is defined as below;
WhereinRepresent two-dimensional convolution operation;
Step 5:Calculate reference picture and the gradient disparities of each location of pixels of distorted image respectively on four direction, meter Calculate formula as follows:
WhereinWithRepresent reference image R with distorted image D at certain respectively Location of pixels is the gradient intensity of (i, j) on individual direction,Then represent that reference image R exists with distorted image D Location of pixels is the gradient intensity difference of (i, j) on some specific direction;

Step 7:By the calculation for calculating reference image R and distorted image D all pixels position gradient intensity difference maximum Art averagely evaluates overall image quality, and calculation formula is as follows:
The step 4 of the method for the invention calculates reference picture using Prewitt gradient operators and existed with distorted image respectively Level, vertical, the gradient intensity figure of leading diagonal, minor diagonal four direction, gradient during compared to image quality evaluation before The main improvement of information extraction is:In view of the perhaps complexity on border in true picture, the gradient for being extracted four direction is strong Spend information, and the gradient of most of quality evaluating method calculated levels and vertical both direction before.
The step 5 of the method for the invention calculate reference picture with each location of pixels of distorted image respectively in level, hang down Directly, leading diagonal, the gradient intensity difference on minor diagonal four direction, the improvement compared to most of existing models are:It is right Reference picture has been respectively compared the gradient intensity difference on four direction with distorted image each position pixel, more make use of Gradient direction information.
The step 6 statistical-reference image R of the method for the invention is with each location of pixels of distorted image D on four direction The maximum of gradient intensity difference.
The step 7 of the method for the invention is by calculating the arithmetic average of all pixels position gradient intensity difference maximum To evaluate overall image quality;Improvement compared to most of existing models is:Gradient intensity information is not only make use of, also effectively The image quality evaluation that Gradient direction information is referred to entirely is make use of, evaluation effect is more preferable.
Beneficial effect:
1st, the present invention is applied to image quality evaluation, not only solves the difference of gradient intensity information, but also pass through system Count reference picture and distorted image respectively four direction gradient intensity difference maximum, efficiently solve gradient direction The difference of information, with better image quality evaluation effect.
