Qualitative Rating of Lossy Compression for Aerial Imagery by Neutrosophic WASPAS Method

Abstract

The monitoring and management of consistently changing landscape patterns are accomplished through a large amount of remote sensing data using satellite images and aerial photography that requires lossy compression for effective storage and transmission. Lossy compression brings the necessity to evaluate the image quality to preserve the important and detailed visual features of the data. We proposed and verified a weighted combination of qualitative parameters for the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework to evaluate the quality of the compressed aerial images. The aerial imagery of different contents and resolutions was tested using the transform-based lossy compression algorithms. We formulated an MCDM problem dedicated to the rating of lossy compression algorithms, governed by the set of qualitative parameters of the images and visually acceptable lossy compression ratios. We performed the lossy compression algorithms’ ranking with different compression ratios by their suitability for the aerial images using the neutrosophic weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) method. The novelty of our methodology is the use of a weighted combination of different qualitative parameters for lossy compression estimation to get a more precise evaluation of the effect of lossy compression on the image content. Our methodology includes means of solving different subtasks, either by altering the weights or the set of aspects.

An Assessment Framework for Solar Cell Material Based on a Modified Fuzzy DEMATEL Approach

“…Once the normalized direct-relation X (k) is obtained, the total-relation matrix T can be calculated, guaranteeing the convergence of lim w→∞ X w = 0. The casual matrix is as following Formulas (2) and (3) [60][61][62].…”

“…The results show that "Government policy" was the most important factor that positively impacted the other dimensions. The government ought to act as a catalyst, enabling companies to raise their objectives and move to higher levels of competitive execution [61]. They should energize companies to develop their execution, fortify early requests for progressed items, center on specialized calculate creation, and invigorate nearby competitions by constraining coordinate participation and implementing anti-trust directions.…”

Procedural Video Game Scene Generation by Genetic and Neutrosophic WASPAS Algorithms

“…We combine the criteria values by converting them to fuzzy sets. Our approach is to use the weighted aggregated sum product assessment with a single-valued neutrosophic sets (WASPAS-SVNS) method to find solutions when multiple conflicting criteria are present [19][20][21][22][23][24]. Calculations are made with fuzzy logic using neutrosophic sets [32].…”

“…In the evaluation step, we combine all the fitness results of the criteria functions using the modified WASPAS-SVNS algorithm (Figure 6) [19]. Most previous use cases for this algorithm were tested with single iterations [19][20][21][22]. This research focuses on an iterative process with WASPAS-SVNS, so there were tweaks made for it to work together with the genetic algorithm.…”

“…There are some examples in the field that use fuzzy logic to express criteria lists [18]. There is also a new emerging usage of neutrosophic sets combined with multicriteria decision making (MCDM), but this approach is not widely explored in the field of machine learning, but it can benefit the creativity of such models [19][20][21][22]. There are also not many MCDM algorithms used together with iterative optimization algorithms [23,24].…”
