Research on visual quality assessment has been active during the last decade. In this work,
we provide an in-depth review of recent developments in the field. As compared with …

In region-of-interest (ROI)-based video coding, ROI parts of the frame are encoded with
higher quality than non-ROI parts. At low bit rates, such encoding may produce attention …

In contrast with traditional videos, omnidirectional videos enable spherical viewing direction
with support for head-mounted displays, providing an interactive and immersive experience …

A new methodology to measure coded image/video quality using the just-noticeable-
difference (JND) idea was proposed in Lin et al.(2015). Several small JND-based …

We propose a rate-distortion optimization (RDO) scheme based on the structural similarity
(SSIM) index, which was found to be a better indicator of perceived image quality than mean …

In this work, we propose a utility-driven preprocessing technique for high-efficiency screen
content video (SCV) compression based on the temporal masking effect, which was found to …

With the wide applications of saliency information in visual signal processing, many saliency
detection methods have been proposed. However, some key characteristics of the human …

In this paper, we propose an effective approach to infer the just noticeable distortion (JND)
profile based on patch-level structural visibility learning. Instead of pixel-level JND profile …

With the advances in understanding perceptual properties of the human visual system and
constructing their computational models, efforts toward incorporating human perceptual …

Cloud gaming enables playing high-end games, originally designed for PC or game console
setups, on low-end devices such as netbooks and smartphones, by offloading graphics …
