Although our perception of image quality changes as we age, most existing image quality assessment (IQA) metrics make simplifying assumptions about the age of observers, thus limiting their use for age-specific applications. In this work, we propose a personalized IQA metric to assess the perceived image quality of observers from different age groups. Firstly, we apply an age simulation algorithm to compute how an observer with a particular age would perceive a given image. This age simulation algorithm adapts the input image according to an age-specific contrast sensitivity function (CSF), which predicts the reduction of contrast visibility associated with the aging eye. Then, we combine the age simulation al-gorithm with existing IQA metrics to calculate the age-specific perceptual image quality score. To validate the effectiveness of our combined model, we conducted psychophysical experiments in a controlled laboratory environment with young (18-29 y.o.), middle-aged (30-54 y.o.), and older (55+ y.o.) adults, measuring their image quality preferences for 84 test images through pairwise comparisons. The statistical analysis shows that the predictions by our age-specific IQA metric are well correlated with the collected subjective IQA results from our psychophysical experiment.","PeriodicalId":274168,"journal":{"name":"Image Quality and System Performance","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114519504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The basic method of evaluating AF performance is to measure the time to get the refocused image and the sharpness of the image while repeatedly inducing the refocusing process. Traditionally, this process was conducted manually by covering and uncovering an object or sensor repeatedly, which can lead to unreliable results due to the human error and light blocking method. To deal with this problem, we propose a new device and solutions using a transparent display. Our method can provide more reliable results than the existing method by modulating the opacity, pattern, and repetition cycle of the target on the transparent display.","PeriodicalId":274168,"journal":{"name":"Image Quality and System Performance","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130386828","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
