Empirical evaluation of full-reference image quality metrics on MDID database

Abstract

In this study, our goal is to give a comprehensive evaluation of 32 state-of-the-art FR-IQA metrics using the recently published MDID. This database contains distorted images derived from a set of reference, pristine images using random types and levels of distortions. Specifically, Gaussian noise, Gaussian blur, contrast change, JPEG noise, and JPEG2000 noise were considered.
