BLIND IMAGE QUALITY TOOLBOX

This project is a collection of algorithms for Blind Image Quality assessment in Matlab.

Hint:

• IQVG requires some Libsvm-Mex files which are available here: https://github.com/cjlin1/libsvm/tree/master Don't forget to add the library to the path (see computeQualityMetrics.m)
• DIIVINE requires a special version of Matlab which is available here: https://github.com/gregfreeman/libsvm/tree/new_matlab_interface Don't forget to add the library to the path (see computeQualityMetrics.m)
• Depending on your environment setup it might be necessary to modify the path to all libsvm executables (see IQVG.m, brisquescore.m)
