BELIF: Blind Quality Evaluator of Light Field Image with Tensor Structure Variation Index
Introduction
With the development of immersive media, Light Field Image (LFI) quality assessment is becoming more and more important , which helps to better guide light field acquisition, processing and application. However, almost all existing LFI quality assessment schemes utilize the 2D or 3D quality assessment methods while ignoring the intrinsic high dimensional characteristics of LFI. Therefore, we adopt the tensor theory to explore the LF 4D structure characteristics and propose the first Blind quality Evaluator of LIght Field image (BELIF). We generate cyclopean images tensor from the original LFI and then the features are extracted by the tucker decomposition. Specifically, Tensor Spatial Characteristic Features (TSCF) for spatial quality and Tensor Structure Variation Index (TSVI) for angular consistency are designed to fully assess the LFI quality. Extensive experimental results on the public LFI databases demonstrate that BELIF significantly outperforms the existing image quality assessment algorithms .
