Multimedia Quality Modeling
Submission deadline: 1 September 2015
Publication: July–September 2016
Multimedia quality models aim at evaluating the quality of multimedia
(image, audio, and video) items in various applications, including
multimedia search and recommendation and multimedia transmission. The
quality criteria deployed in such models are typically related to
human perception (audio or visual distortions, for example) or to
aesthetic appeal related to a given multimedia item. For example, a
photo management system that can rank photos based on perceptual
quality criteria (such as the resolution or presence of visible
distortions), or the criteria related to aesthetics could help users
select not only topically relevant photos but also those most
appealing and representative for their albums. Furthermore, being
able to assess the acceptable quality of an audiovisual signal
can guide cost-effective optimization of signal processing
(compression, cropping, retargeting) and transmission.
Extensive research efforts have been dedicated to designing
multimedia quality models, but effective tools for quality
prediction are still in their infancy. The largest potential
for growth has been recognized along the following lines:
emphasizing the role of multimedia content semantics as a parameter
in assessing the quality of multimedia items, better exploiting
cross-media analysis for quality assessment, and handling the
instability of the biologically/psychologically inspired
multimedia features in reflecting human perception.
This special issue targets the researchers and practitioners
from both the industry and academia. It solicits original
contributions reflecting the most recent progress on data-driven
models for image, video, and audio quality prediction and on
discovering new types of visual/acoustic cues in computational
quality models. The topics of interest include, but are not
limited to, the following:
new data-driven computational models for media quality evaluation;
aesthetic models for multimedia applications;
quality-driven video and image summarization;
semantic models for multimedia quality prediction;
multimodal quality models for event and abnormality detection;
visual quality prediction for photo and video management systems;
human interactive learning for multimedia quality prediction;
data-driven quality models for large-scale multimedia retrieval;
advanced descriptors for evaluating multimedia quality; and
datasets, benchmarks, and validation of multimedia quality of experience.
