Crowdsourced Quality Assessment of Enhanced Underwater Images - a Pilot Study

Abstract

QoMEX) scale, we applied pair comparison to the enhanced images generated by 10 UIE algorithms in the 3D TURBID benchmark [3]. By reconstructing the quality scales from the pair comparison, we arrived at two results. (1) The existing IQA metrics are not suitable for assessing the perceived quality of enhanced underwater images. (2) The overall performance and ranking of 10 UIE algorithms on the benchmark.
