Abstract:

In this paper, we propose a new two-column dense Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) for stereoscopic image quality assessment. The input of one column is the cyclopean image which conforms to the binocular combination and rival mechanism in our brain. The input of other column is the disparity map which provides some compensation information for the cyclopean image. More importantly, we employ the features of disparity map to guide and weight the feature maps obtained from the cyclopean image, which is implemented by modifying the structure of Squeeze and Excitation block. This weighting strategy recalibrates the importance of feature maps extracted from cyclopean image. At the end of CNN, we combine the outputs from the two-column through 'Concat', and then process them to get the final quality score of the stereoscopic image. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method can achieve high consistent alignment with subjective assessment.
