We propose a perceptual video quality assessment (PVQA) metric for distorted videos by analyzing the power spectral density (PSD) of a group of pictures. This is an estimation approach that relies on the changes in video dynamic calculated in the frequency domain and are primarily caused by distortion. We obtain a feature map by processing a 3D PSD tensor obtained from a set of distorted frames. This...
In this paper, we analyze the effect of boosting in image quality assessment through multi-method fusion. On the contrary of existing studies that propose a single quality estimator, we investigate the generalizability of multi-method fusion as a framework. In addition to support vector machines that are commonly used in the multi-method fusion studies, we propose using neural networks in the boosting...
Localizing seismic structures that can form traps for hydrocarbon reservoirs within large seismic volumes is a very challenging task. Due to the lack of accurately labeled data, we propose a weakly-supervised model for labeling seismic volumes using only a few labeled exemplars. Using six manually-labeled patches, we are able to extract patches that contain instances of similar geophysical structures...
An average healthy person does not perceive the world in just black and white. Moreover, the perceived world is not composed of pixels and through vision humans perceive structures. However, the acquisition and display systems discretize the world. Therefore, we need to consider pixels, structures and colors to model the quality of experience. Quality assessment methods use the pixel-wise and structural...
We propose a rate-distortion optimization method for 3D videos based on visual discomfort estimation. We calculate visual discomfort in the encoded depth maps using two indexes: temporal outliers (TO) and spatial outliers (SO). These two indexes are used to measure the difference between the processed depth map and the ground truth depth map. These indexes implicitly depend on the amount of edge information...
This paper presents a block-overlap-based validity metric for use as a measure of motion vector (MV) validity and to improve the quality of the motion field. In contrast to other validity metrics in the literature, the proposed metric is not sensitive to image features and does not require the use of neighboring MVs or manual thresholds. Using a hybrid de-interlacer, it is shown that the proposed...
