Evaluating retargeting image operators is a subjective task and, therefore, challenging to execute without human interference. Image Retargeting Quality Algorithms execute this task, giving some score to the retargeted image and, usually, trying to get a result similar to a human opinion since humans generally agree with each other on the quality of a resized image. Therefore, we propose an Autoencoder-based IRQA named AutoEncoder Information MaP Similarity (AEIMPS) to address this task using the NVAE architecture. In our experiments, besides the retargeting ratio, we use the latent space and the reconstructed image in the IRQA. AIEMPS achieved an average performance compared to other IRQAs in the literature.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
