Abstract
The Just Noticeable Distortion (JND) threshold refers to the inability of the human visual system (HVS) to perceive pixel changes below a certain visibility threshold. In this paper, we focus on the cross-domain operation problem of JND estimation in the DCT domain. In order to solve this problem and improve the accuracy of DCT-JND estimation, we design an autoregressive model based on the Bayesian generation theory to simulate the spontaneous predictive behavior of HVS. Based on this model, an entropy masking (EM) effect based JND moderator is then proposed. Considering the visual attention and foveated masking (VFM) effect, this paper predicts visual saliency and the fixation points in the DCT domain, an enhanced foveated masking effect based JND moderator is then presented. Finally, combined with other JND moderators, the Bayesian generation based foveated DCT-JND model is obtained. Subjective and objective experimental results show that the proposed model could further improve the accuracy of JND threshold estimation in the DCT domain while avoiding the cross-domain operation.
