Title
On the Use of Deep Learning for Blind Image Quality Assessment.
Abstract
In this work, we investigate the use of deep learning for distortion-generic blind image quality assessment. We report on different design choices, ranging from the use of features extracted from pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) as a generic image description, to the use of features extracted from a CNN fine-tuned for the image quality task. Our best proposal, named DeepBIQ, estimates the image quality by average-pooling the scores predicted on multiple subregions of the original image. Experimental results on the LIVE In the Wild Image Quality Challenge Database show that DeepBIQ outperforms the state-of-the-art methods compared, having a linear correlation coefficient with human subjective scores of almost 0.91. These results are further confirmed also on four benchmark databases of synthetically distorted images: LIVE, CSIQ, TID2008, and TID2013.
