Survey of visual just noticeable difference estimation

The concept of just noticeable difference (JND), which accounts for the visibility threshold (visual redundancy) of the human visual system, is useful in perception-oriented signal processing systems. In this work, we present a comprehensive review of JND estimation technology. First, the visual mec...

Description
Summary:The concept of just noticeable difference (JND), which accounts for the visibility threshold (visual redundancy) of the human visual system, is useful in perception-oriented signal processing systems. In this work, we present a comprehensive review of JND estimation technology. First, the visual mechanism and its corresponding computational modules are illustrated. These include luminance adaptation, contrast masking, pattern masking, and the contrast sensitivity function. Next, the existing pixel domain and subband domain JND models are presented and analyzed. Finally, the challenges associated with JND estimation are discussed.
