A new quality assessment for Thangka image inpainting

摘要

This paper presents an efficient metric for evaluation the effect of the inpainted Thangka images.In contrast to standard image quality metrics, the proposed one takes into account some constraintsand characteristics related to the specific goals of inpainting techniques. The key is thatwe proposed a method to decompose the reference and distorted image and to compare theintensity of fuzzy edge for structure component and similarity for texture component.By comparativeanalyzing the experimental results with other metrics, the proposed image inpainting qualityindex delivers high consistency with subjective evaluation results, which will help the selectingalgorithm in image restoration and could be also applied tomost of inpainting image approaches.
