Preface

After visual signals (referring to image, video, graphics, and animation) are captured or generated, they undergo a variety of processings, including compression, enhancement, editing, retargeting, and transmission. These processes change the quality of visual signals. To measure the extent of such changes, visual quality assessment (VQA) has gained popularity as a hot research topic during the last decade. The psychological and physiological research results have been plugged into this research field to provide fundamental knowledge of the visual perception mechanism and theoretical support for developing VQA models. In addition, the newly developed computer vision, artificial intelligence, and machine learning techniques have b
