Introduction
ISO has a set of camera image quality metrics to quantify resolution, noise, color accuracy of cameras. The metrics are a set of values, but the effectiveness of these metrics might not be good for evaluation of real camera images, observed by human eyes. As a result, We need to evaluate the metrics by comparing the metrics and human observation.
Through ISET, we can calculate the main metric to evaluate visible noise of a camera – vSNR. vSNR is the ratio of signal power to noise power, calculated from XYZ value of the processed image. By varying the Luminance, pixel size, and optical/sensor parameters, we evaluate whether the vSNR can match the observation of eyes or not for specific scenes, e.g. face, text, scenery.
Background
Image Quality Metrics
Nowadays, a lot of metrics are used to perceive image quality, which can be found in the paper Development of the I3A CPIQ spatial metrics[1]. Their goals are to predict the visible differences between a pair of images. These metrics are commonly used to measure the important aspects of image quality such as sharpness, noise, contrast and so on.
visible SNR
Signal-to-noise ratio(SNR)is a measure that compares the level of a signal to the level of background noise. It is defined as the ratio of signal power to the noise power. The SNR used in imaging is a physical measure of the sensitivity of a imaging system.
The vSNR is the inverse of the standard deviation of the SCIELAB representation of a uniform field; its units are 1/ΔE[2].The vSNR metric can be used in simulations to predict how imaging system components affect noise visibility[2].
