Books have a significant role in the diffusion of cultural information since they not only carry
the weight of cultural inheritance but also serve to preserve historical culture. The major …

With the development of digital imaging techniques, image quality assessment methods are
receiving more attention in the literature. Since distortion-free versions of camera images in …

Though blind image quality assessment (BIQA) is highly desired in perceptual-oriented
image processing systems, it is extremely difficult to design a reliable BIQA method. With the …

Abstract No-reference (NR)/blind image quality assessment (IQA) metrics play an important
role in the area of image processing. Natural scene statistics (NSS) model assumes that …

Image retargeting technology has been widely studied to adapt images for the devices with
heterogeneous screen resolutions. Meanwhile effective objective retargeting quality …

Handwriting recognition (HWR) in Indic scripts is a challenging problem due to the inherent
subtleties in the scripts, cursive nature of the handwriting and similar shape of the …

With the growing prominence of UAV-based low-altitude remote sensing in agriculture, the
acquisition and processing of high-quality UAV remote sensing images is paramount. The …

Many studies have indicated that predicting users' perception of visual quality depends on
various factors other than artifact visibility alone, such as viewing environment, social …

In this paper, we propose a new method for blind/no-reference image quality assessment
based on the log-derivative statistics of natural scenes. The new method, called DErivative …

Current blind image quality assessment (BIQA) algorithms are mainly designed for natural
images. Unfortunately, cartoon and cartoon-like images are quite different from natural …
