A study of deep perceptual metrics for image quality assessment
share
Several metrics exist to quantify the similarity between images, but they are inefficient when it comes to measure the similarity of highly distorted images. In this work, we propose to empirically investigate perceptual metrics based on deep neural networks for tackling the Image Quality Assessment (IQA) task. We study deep perceptual metrics according to different hyperparameters like the network's architecture or training procedure. Finally, we propose our multi-resolution perceptual metric (MR-Perceptual), that allows us to aggregate perceptual information at different resolutions and outperforms standard perceptual metrics on IQA tasks with varying image deformations. Our code is available at https://github.com/ENSTA-U2IS/MR_perceptual
