Description

Maximum entropy and KL divergence are without reference contrast distorted image quality evaluating method
Technical field
The invention belongs to field of image processings, more particularly, to a kind of reference-free quality evaluation side of contrast distortion image Method.More particularly to maximum entropy and KL divergence without reference contrast distorted image quality evaluating method.
Background technique
Image is a kind of presentation mode of information, plays key player in people's daily life.In recent years, with Electronic image pickup apparatus it is increasing, image data is civilian and industrial all there is be widely applied.However, actually obtaining During obtaining image, usually due to low cost, low-quality imaging sensor, very poor lighting condition and user's operation are not When etc. factors, contrast image quality and the visual demand for being unsatisfactory for people.Other than the subjectivity of influence people is aesthetic, medical treatment, mesh Mark detects and the application environments such as content description have harsh requirement to picture quality, and bad picture quality can be to production, life It is living etc. to cause serious harm.In order to restore the details of image, scholars propose many contrast enhancement algorithms, at certain The influence of contrast distortion is alleviated in kind degree.But this contrast distortion is inevitable, and therefore, finds one kind The quality evaluation algorithm of contrast distortion image is an extremely challenging task.Image quality evaluation can according to Appraising subject To be divided into subjective quality assessment and evaluating objective quality, the former is dependent on subject main body, although being capable of fundamentally quantitatively evaluating Problem, but need to take considerable time and energy, and the latter simply and readily realizes, more mainstream.Evaluating objective quality is again Full reference (Full Reference, FR), half can be divided into reference to (Reduced Reference, RR) and without with reference to (No Reference, NR) three types.Existing algorithm is divided into general distortion mostly and is distorted specific two kinds, contrast distortion category In the latter, rarely have scholar to make biggish performance boost in this field, therefore the present invention is based on maximum entropies and KL divergence, propose one Kind is without reference contrast distorted image quality evaluating method.
Summary of the invention
In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, for picture contrast problem of dtmf distortion DTMF, the present invention is directed to propose a kind of no reference Contrast distortion image quality evaluating method, this method and subjective assessment score have higher consistency, can effectively comment Valence contrast distortion image.For this reason, the technical scheme adopted by the present invention is that maximum entropy and KL divergence are without reference contrast distortion map Image quality evaluation method, steps are as follows:

Specific embodiment
The invention proposes a kind of no reference contrast distorted image quality evaluating methods, specifically includes the following steps:
1, maximum entropy calculates
An image I is given, be divided into 64 x, 64 size is not overlapped image block, calculates the entropy of each block of image And sort from large to small, take the mean value of the entropy of 10% image block before numerical ordering to be denoted as maximum entropy Em
2, mean intensity histogram calculation
DUT-OMRON data set is chosen as reference, the intensity histogram of all 5172 images is calculated and takes mean value, obtain To mean intensity histogram H0
3, the change of intensity distribution is measured
A contrast distortion image is given, its intensity histogram H is calculated1, intensity histogram is measured using KL divergence Priori H0With test image intensity histogram H1Distance, be denoted as K.
4, quality evaluation
Maximum entropy Em and KL divergence K linear combination is obtained into final objective quality scores Q, in CSIQ, TID2008 and It is verified on the contrast distortion figure of TID2013 database, the property of the method for the present invention is finally judged using four kinds of image evaluation criterion Energy.
The present invention proposes that a kind of no reference contrast distorted image quality evaluating method, frame are as shown in Figure 1.
(1) maximum entropy calculates
An image I is given, be divided into n x n size first is not overlapped image block, and each piece of entropy can lead to Cross following formula calculating:
Wherein, τiIndicate the probability of i-th of intensity value, n=64 is arranged in the present invention.After obtaining each piece of entropy, maximum entropy It can indicate are as follows:
Wherein, EmIndicate maximum entropy, Z indicates the block number of every image segmentation, according to the size of each piece of entropy from greatly to Small sequence, Ez(I) mean value of the entropy of z image block before numerical ranks, here z=η %Z, setting η=10 are indicated.
(2) mean intensity histogram calculation
Natural scene image shows certain statistical law, in order to indicate the statistical property of a large amount of high quality graphics, chooses DUT-OMRON data set is as reference.The data set contains the high quality natural scene image of a large amount of classifications, calculates all The intensity histogram of 5172 images simultaneously takes mean value, obtains mean intensity histogram H0, as intensity distribution change reference believe Breath, mean intensity histogram are as shown in Figure 2.
(3) change of intensity distribution is measured
A contrast distortion image is given, its intensity histogram H is calculated1, it is straight that intensity is measured using KL divergence Square figure priori H0With test image intensity histogram H1Distance, to measure the change of intensity distribution, formula is as follows:

Wherein, K indicates KL divergence, ξ (H1-H0) indicate H1And H0Cross entropy, can indicate are as follows:
Wherein, pjAnd qjIt is histogram H respectively1And H0J-th of bin, J is the total bin quantity of intensity histogram, be arranged J =26, E (H1) it is intensity histogram H1Entropy.
(4) quality evaluation
Low picture quality, KL divergence is smaller, and maximum entropy is also small.In conjunction with KL divergence and maximum entropy, to this two into Row linear combination obtains final picture quality Q:
Q=α K+ (1- α) Em (10)
Wherein, α is that a constant-weight is set as regulating and controlling the relative importance of KL divergence and maximum entropy two 0.5。
For verification algorithm validity, three databases comprising contrast distortion, respectively CSIQ, TID2008 are selected And TID2013, the Database details of selection are shown in Table 1 (distortion map is the contrast distortion image chosen).
1 Database details of table
It is that Pearson is linear respectively using four kinds of Performance Evaluation criterion for the performance of checking image quality evaluation algorithm Related coefficient (Pearson Linear Correlation Coefficient, PLCC), Spearman rank correlation coefficient (Spearman Rank-order Correlation Coefficient, SRCC), Ken Deer rank correlation coefficient (Kendall ' s Rank Correlation Coefficient, KRCC) and root-mean-square error (Root Mean-Squared Error, RMSE). Wherein, PLCC, SRCC and KRCC value are bigger, and RMSE value is smaller, show that the test image of evaluation has relatively high quality.
Table 2 is performance scores of this method on three databases.
2 algorithm performance of table
As can be seen from Table 2, PLCC, the SRCC being calculated in three databases are generally higher than 0.83, KRCC It is below 0.50 in 0.64 or more, RMSE, is illustrated related between the evaluating objective quality predicted value of this method and subjective scoring Property it is high, show that the method for the present invention and human visual system have preferable consistency.
