Image quality comparison is crucial in various applications, such as image restoration, enhancement, and recognition. In this article, we propose an attention-based decoder to evaluate the quality of images by comparing them through a comprehensive and systematic approach. The proposed method considers five aspects of image quality: brightness, color, noise, artifacts, and blurriness. Each aspect has three levels of evaluation: undistorted, mildly distorted, and severely distorted.
To evaluate the image quality, we use a visualization technique called attention maps. These maps highlight the regions of the images that the model focuses on during the comparison process. By analyzing these attention maps, we can understand which aspects of the images are more important for the model’s decision-making process.
The results show that our proposed method outperforms existing methods in terms of accuracy and efficiency. We provide several examples to demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach, including comparing an undistorted image with a heavily distorted one or evaluating the quality of two differently composed images.
In conclusion, our attention-based decoder provides a more comprehensive and accurate approach for comparing image quality than existing methods. By using attention maps, we can gain insights into which aspects of the images are most important for the model’s decision-making process, leading to better results in evaluating image quality.
