Abstract

This paper demonstrates the usefulness of spatial/spatial-frequency representations in image quality assessment by introducing a new image dissimilarity measure based on 2D Wigner-Ville distribution (WVD). The properties of 2D WVD are shortly reviewed, and the important issue of choosing the analytic image is emphasized. The WVD-based measure is shown to be correlated with subjective human evaluation, which is the premise towards an image quality assessor developed on this principle.
