Visible differences predictor: an algorithm for the assessment of image fidelity
Abstract
Image fidelity is the subset of overall image quality that specifically addresses the visual equivalence of two images. This paper describes an algorithm for determining whether the goal of image fidelity is met as a function of display parameters and viewing conditions. Using a digital image processing approach, this algorithm is intended for the design and analysis of image processing algorithms, imaging systems, and imaging media. The visual model, which is the central component of the algorithm, is comprised of three parts: an amplitude nonlinearity, a contrast sensitivity function, and a hierarchy of detection mechanisms.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
