VCL@FER– baza slika za procjenu kvalitete slike

Original scientific paper In this paper we present new image quality database VCL@FER (http://www.vcl.fer.hr/quality/) which consists of four degradation types, 6 levels of each degradation and 23 different images (552 degraded images). It can be used in objective image quality evaluation, as well as to develop and test new image quality measures. Results for six commonly used full reference objective quality measures are compared using newly developed image database, as well as 6 other image databases.VCL@FER baza slika nova je baza slika (http://www.vcl.fer.hr/quality/) koja se sastoji od 4 vrste izobličenja, 6 razina svakog izobličenja i 23 različite slike (ukupno 552 izobličene slike). Baza slika može se koristiti za usporedbu različitih objektivnih mjera kvalitete slike, kao i za razvoj novih objektivnih mjera. Uporabom nove baze te još šest dostupnih baza slika provedena je usporedba šest relevantnih objektivnih mjere kvalitete slike

Analysis of frame-compatible subsampling structures for efficient 3DTV broadcast

The evolution of the television market is led by 3DTV technology, and this tendency can accelerate during the next years according to expert forecasts. However, 3DTV delivery by broadcast networks is not currently developed enough, and acts as a bottleneck for the complete deployment of the technology. Thus, increasing interest is dedicated to ste-reo 3DTV formats compatible with current HDTV video equipment and infrastructure, as they may greatly encourage 3D acceptance. In this paper, different subsampling schemes for HDTV compatible transmission of both progressive and interlaced stereo 3DTV are studied and compared. The frequency characteristics and preserved frequency content of each scheme are analyzed, and a simple interpolation filter is specially designed. Finally, the advantages and disadvantages of the different schemes and filters are evaluated through quality testing on several progressive and interlaced video sequences

Controlled variations in stimulus similarity during learning determine visual discrimination capacity in freely moving mice

The mouse is receiving growing interest as a model organism for studying visual perception. However, little is known about how discrimination and learning interact to produce visual conditioned responses. Here, we adapted a two-alternative forced-choice visual discrimination task for mice and examined how training with equiprobable stimuli of varying similarity influenced conditioned response and discrimination performance as a function of learning. Our results indicate that the slope of the gradients in similarity during training determined the learning rate, the maximum performance and the threshold for successful discrimination. Moreover, the learning process obeyed an inverse relationship between discrimination performance and discriminative resolution, implying that sensitivity within a similarity range cannot be improved without sacrificing performance in another. Our study demonstrates how the interplay between discrimination and learning controls visual discrimination capacity and introduces a new training protocol with quantitative measures to study perceptual learning and visually-guided behavior in freely moving mice
