A No-Reference Adaptive Blockiness Measure for JPEG Compressed Images

This paper considers three crucial issues in processing scaled down image, the representation of partial image, similarity measure and domain adaptation. Two Gaussian mixture model based algorithms are proposed to effectively preserve image details and avoids image degradation. Multiple partial images are clustered separately through Gaussian mixture model clustering with a scan and select procedure to enhance the inclusion of small image details. The local image features, represented by maximum likelihood estimates of the mixture components, are classified by using the modified Bayes factor (MBF) as a similarity measure. The detection of novel local features from MBF will suggest domain adaptation, which is changing the number of components of the Gaussian mixture model. The performance of the proposed algorithms are evaluated with simulated data and real images and it is shown to perform much better than existing Gaussian mixture model based algorithms in reproducing images with higher structural similarity index.

Image acquisition systems usually acquire images with distortions due to various factors associated with digitization processes. Poisson is one of the common types of noises present in the image, and it distorts the fine features. Hence, it is necessary to denoise the noisy image by smoothing it to extract the features with fine details. Among the denoising methods, anisotropic diffusion method provides more adequate results. In this chapter, the authors dealt with existing models such as Perona-Malik (PM), total variation, Tsai, Chao, Chao TFT, difference eigen value PM, adaptive PM, modified PM, and Maiseli models. The performances of the models were tested on synthetic image added with the Poisson noise. Quality metrics are used to quantify and to ensure the smoothness of the resultant images. However, in order to ensure the completeness of the denoising effect, the qualitative attributes such as sharpness, blurriness, blockiness, edge quality, and false contouring are considered on smoothened images. The analysis results are shown the completeness of the denoising effect of the models.
