Objective Quality Assessment for Image Retargeting

Objective Quality Assessment for Image Retargeting is a methodological approach for quantitatively evaluating the quality of image retargeting operations. This technique enables systematic analysis of retargeting effectiveness and establishes reliable benchmarking standards for algorithm comparison. By examining critical image attributes including content preservation, structural integrity, and detail continuity, the assessment generates objective quality metrics through computational analysis. Implementation typically involves feature extraction algorithms that quantify visual distortions, structural similarity indices (SSIM) for compositional analysis, and content-aware evaluation metrics that assess semantic preservation. This methodology holds significant importance in image processing and computer vision research, providing valuable insights for refining retargeting algorithms and guiding technical improvements through data-driven performance analysis.
