Abstract

In the area of full-reference (FR) objective ‘image quality assessment’ (IQA), a huge amount of improvement has been done in the last few years that can calculate image quality, consistently. Contrarily, query-based image/video databases and search engines retrieve related data using ‘ranking and indexing’ depending on stored content. It is also to be noted that both techniques use feature extraction to achieve their goal. The efficiency of seven selected FR-IQA schemes is described in this article for the retrieval of an image signal. Extensive tests are done on two freely accessible databases. The comparison results express that mean-structural-similarity-index-measure (MSSIM), and feature-similarity-index-measure (FSIM) offer superior outcome than other IQA models. Our assessment outcome and the related thought will be very much useful for the researchers to understand the latest application areas of the IQA model in the area of image searching and retrieval.
