There has been\na significant research interest in designing the quality features but pooling\nis usually overlooked compared to feature design. In this work, we compare the\nstate of the art quality and content-based spatial pooling strategies and show\nthat although features are the key in any image quality assessment, pooling\nalso matters. We also propose a quality-based spatial pooling strategy that is\nbased on linearly weighted percentile pooling (WPP). Pooling strategies are\nanalyzed for squared error, SSIM and PerSIM in LIVE, multiply distorted LIVE\nand TID2013 image databases.","url_abs":"http://arxiv.org/abs/1811.08891v1","url_pdf":"http://arxiv.org/pdf/1811.08891v1.pdf","source":{"archive":"pwc-archive (Hugging Face), CC BY-SA 4.0","snapshot":"2025-07-28","licence_url":"https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/legalcode","row_kind":"abstracts"},"code_links":[{"paper_slug":"a-comparative-study-of-quality-and-content","repo_url":"https://github.com/olivesgatech/Spatial-Pooling-in-IQA","is_official":0,"mentioned_in_paper":0,"mentioned_in_github":1,"framework":"none","reach":null}],"tasks":[{"task_slug":"image-quality-assessment","task_name":"Image Quality Assessment"},{"task_slug":"ssim","task_name":"SSIM"}],"methods":[],"datasets_introduced":[],"methods_introduced":[],"results":[],"syntology":{"syntology_url":null,"atlas_url":null,"mcp":null,"developers":"https://syntology.ai/developers"},"arxiv_metadata":null,"syntology_extracted_results":null}
