Abstract: In this work, a new metric for image quality assessment is suggested, which provides more suppleness than previous measures in using Ruderman operator, visual region of interest and gradient similarity. Firstly, the luminance distortion between the reference and test images is determined. Secondly, the gradient similarity is computed by using canny filter and proposed gradient mask. Thirdly, the test and reference images are transformed using Ruderman operator. Fourthly, the visual region of interest is calculated by employing entropy operator. Lastly, the dissimilarity between the reference and test images is obtained, by combining all previous metrics: luminance distortion measure, gradient similarity measures, Ruderman measure and visual region of interest measure. Experimental comparison demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.
