Abstract
One of the biggest challenges in the field of image and video processing is evaluating and optimizing the quality of digital imaging system with respect to storage capacity and transmission bandwidth of the digital imaging system. Since the ultimate receiver for most imagery systems is human, therefore, it is pertinent to take into account the human visual system (HVS) in such systems to achieve optimal performance in the perceptual sense. It is well-known that the physiological and psychological mechanisms of the HVS prevent it from detecting all changes in an image. By exploiting the limitations of HVS, storage capacity and transmission bandwidth of digital imaging system can be optimally allocated for optimal visual experience.
