ABSTRACT:
Visual differences between a first and second image are determined by first modifying the first and second image signals to model non-linear response to luminance in cone receptors of an eye, modifying the first and second image signals to compensate for both optical properties of the eyes and neural interaction between cells in a retina, adjusting sensitivity to image differences to model the ability of the human visual system to discern features in an image, and comparing the first and second image signals based on the adjusted sensitivity. An output based on this comparison is provided in the form of either an in-context map having first and second colors superimposed on one of the images to moderate differences or in the form of a free-form map having light and dark pixels thereon indicating differences.
