Conclusion Contributions and Observations YEAR QUALITY ESTIMATORS LBIQ DIIVINE CORNIA BRISQUE MLIQM CB/SF QAC SPARQ Tang QAF Kang IQA-CNN++ Li DLIQA Gao CNN-SVR UNIQUE MS-UNIQUE Do not require Visual system Color Distortion specific data in the training Labels in the training Handcrafting Multiple layers/models without handcrafting To measure perceived quality Hand-crafting is not sufficient, we should also learn from the data. Labels are not easy to find, we need to focus more on unsupervised approaches. Color perception must be included in a comprehensive visual system model. The best example is our visual system, we should model it as much as we can. 21
