Title
Full Reference Light Field Image Quality Evaluation Based On Angular-Spatial Characteristic
Abstract
The quality evaluation is an indispensable link in light field (LF) image processing. Most of existing LF objective evaluation indexes do not make effective use of the angular characteristic of LF, so the evaluation results are unsatisfactory. In this letter, the quality evaluation of LF image is constructed based on human visual system (HVS) and LF angular-spatial characteristics. Based on the fact that HVS has different sensitivity to different parallaxes, we assume that LF image quality perceived by human eyes has the optimal parallax range. A dual-fan filter is used to constrain the parallax range. Then, the overall quality of the LF is represented by combining the spatial and angular quality, which performed from the central sub-aperture image and the focus stack, respectively. In addition, because the difference of Gaussian (DoG) operator can simulate the process of extracting texture structure by human eyes. The structural similarity of DoG texture feature is utilized in the spatial quality evaluation. Extensive comparison experiments show that the proposed method is more consistent with the characteristics of LF.
