Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University explored pupil size as an objective physiological indicator for image quality assessment, demonstrating that pupil recovery speed inversely correlates with perceived image quality during evaluation tasks. The study found distinct pupil response patterns between free observation and quality assessment, suggesting different underlying cognitive processes.

Key insights

  • Image Quality Assessment (IQA) tasks elicit different and more active visual attention mechanisms compared to free observation.
  • Pupil dynamics, particularly the speed of pupil recovery, reflect cognitive processes involved in image quality perception.
  • Physiological signals like pupil size offer a potential avenue for developing less biased subjective IQA methods and informing objective IQA models.
