Image and Video Quality Assessment

Dear Colleagues,

With the advancement of technology. the need to automatically evaluate the quality of images and videos has become an important part of most image processing and computer vision applications. While current objective image and video quality metrics have shown high correlation with subjective scores, nevertheless, there exist huge room for improvement. This includes but is not limited to difference in the performance of metrics across various datasets and distortions, dealing with multiple distortions, run-time performance, memory requirements, etc. 

In this Special Issue, we aim to address these issues. We encourage contributions presenting methods, techniques, tools, and ideas on how the state-of-the-art could be advanced. We seek original contributions in image and video quality assessment, but not limited to the following:

• Large scale datasets for image and video quality assessment;
• Novel methods for subjective evaluations (in particular crowdsourcing);
• Objective image and video quality assessment;
• Image and video quality enhancement;
• Human perception;
• Aesthetic quality assessment of image and videos;
• Image and video quality assessment for different environments, including but not limited to printing, virtual reality, high dynamic range, displays, video conferencing, etc.;
• Medical image and video quality assessment.
