A new reference-free image quality index for blur estimation in the frequency domain
A new reference-free image quality index based on spectral analysis is proposed. The main idea is based on exploiting the limitations of the Human Visual System (HVS) in blur detection,. The proposed method consists of adding blur to the test image and measuring its impact. The impact is measured using radial analysis in the frequency domain. The efficiency of the proposed method is tested objectively by comparing it to some well known algorithms and in terms of correlation with subjective scores.
