Description: TOPIC: QUALITY MODELING OF COMPRESSED IMAGES AND ITS APPLICATIONS IN WIRELESS NETWORKS

LOCATION: Lester W. Cory Conference Room, Science & Engineering Building (Group II), Room 213A

ABSTRACT:
This project intends to create No-Reference (NR) quality estimations for JPEG compressed images. Tuning a NR estimation model towards PSNR may not be suitable in summarizing NR quality measurements. This project investigated a computational and memory proficient NR quality evaluation model for JPEG compressed images; and examined subjective test outcomes to refine the model.
A short survey on existing models are presented at the beginning. An experimental approach was applied to improve identified weaknesses for one of compared models. The second part of the project provides a sophisticated and verified model by considering a group of images. Besides, the project studies the quality performance estimation for image transmissions over wireless networks, and establishes the relationship between the bit error rate and (Peak signal-to-noise ratio) PSNR. The project concludes that the model for NR image quality is feasible in wireless network applications.
