A method for image quality assessment, comprising:
- accessing (401) an image;
- identifying (403) marginal distribution features or cross scale joint distribution features of said image;
- assessing (405) said features and generating subjective scores for respective said features based upon a mapping of said features to said subjective scores;
- based on said subjective scores, generating (407) an image quality score;
- and
- providing access (409) to said image quality score.
A method for image management using image quality assessment, comprising:
- importing (401) at least one image from an external source;
- identifying (403) marginal distribution features or cross scale joint distribution features of said at least one image;
- assessing (405) said features and generating subjective scores for respective said features based upon a mapping of said features to said subjective scores;
- based on said subjective scores, generating (407) an image quality score;
- providing access (409) to said image quality score;
- and
- providing access to said at least on image for exporting to an external source.
A computer-readable storage device storing computer-executable components, comprising:
- an accessing component (301) for accessing an image;
- a feature identifying component (303) for identifying marginal distribution features or cross scale joint distribution features of said image;
- a feature scoring component (305) for scoring said features and generating subjective scores for respective said features based upon a mapping of said features to said subjective scores;
- an image quality scoring component (307) for generating an image quality score based on said subjective scores;
- and
- an access providing component (309) for providing access to said image quality score.
