Perceived Image Quality on Mobile Phones with Different Screen Resolution

The diverse display screen imposes significant challenges for assessing the perceptual media quality across different mobile devices. In this paper, the perceived image quality on different mobile phones is investigated. Firstly, subjective experiments for image quality evaluation are implemented on 9 popular mobile phones and a broadcast-quality monitor to evaluate the impact on perceived image quality regarding the screen resolution, screen size, image resolution, and image coding quality. Furthermore, the effect of mutual interaction between the image resolution and screen resolution is analyzed and an integrated assessment parameter is proposed to establish a device-dependent image quality assessment model. This model can be used to predict the user’s perceptual quality of the images displayed on different mobile devices. Experimental results using twofold cross-validation indicate that the proposed model can accurately estimate users’ perceived image quality on mobile devices
