Training and Testing Texture Similarity Metrics for Structurally Lossless Compression

We present a systematic approach for training and testing structural texture similarity metrics (STSIMs) so that they can be used to exploit texture redundancy for structurally lossless image compression. The training and testing is based on a set of image distortions that reflect the characteristics of the perturbations present in natural...

Influence of Texture Structure on the Perception of Color Composition

The authors explore the influence of the structure of a texture image on the perception of its color composition through a series of psychophysical studies. They estimate the color composition of a texture by extracting its dominant colors and the associated percentages. They then synthesize new textures with the same color composition but...
