Also, he is a recipient of Journal of Signal Processing, Best Paper Award, in 2013, 2015, and 2016, and Yahagi Commemorative Award of Journal of Signal Processing, in 2018. He is an IEEE senior member.
Abstract:
In many cases, we need to measure the quality of an image. It is conducted by human eyes in principle, but a fair assessment of the quality of an image requires many opinions or scores from many people. Instead of such a subjective assessment, an objective assessment, which is judged by a computer automatically, is convenient and desired in our practical world. This kind of image quality assessment (IQA), objective IQA, is becoming popular and one of the hot topics in image processing. In this talk, some recent ideas found at Prof. Shimamura’s Lab are revealed, which are based on a combination of two or three metrices to measure the quality of an image. Originally, these ideas come from the field of speech processing. How to measure the quality of a speech signal has been also discussed up to now in the field of speech processing. At Prof. Shimamura’s Lab, a wide range of signal processing techniques are covered and used. Some methods for IQA introduced in this talk are products from a bridge between speech and image processing mentioned above. Additionally, the use of a convolutional neural network (CNN) for IQA is also shown, the type of which is called blind IQA or non-reference IQA, because we do not use the original image to make an assessment. The CNN approach was also devised at Prof. Shimamura’s Lab and press-released last year in Japan. A short video will be shown to conform how accurately the approach provides the IQA scores.
