Blind image sharpness assessment based on local contrast map statistics
This paper presents a fast blind image sharpness/blurriness assessment model (BISHARP) which operates in spatial and transform domain. The proposed model generates local contrast image maps by computing the root-mean-squared values for each image pixel within a defined size of local neighborhood. The resulting local contrast maps are then transformed into the wavelet domain where the reduction of high frequency content is evaluated in the presence of varying blur strengths. It was found that percentile values computed from sorted, level- shifted, high-frequency wavelet coefficients can serve as reliable image sharpness/blurriness estimators. Furthermore, it was found that higher dynamic range of contrast maps significantly improves model performance. The results of validation performed on seven image databases showed a very high correlation with perceptual scores. Due to low computational requirements the proposed model can be easily utilized in real- world image processing applications.
