Title: The vivid science of visual quality assessment and the emerging field of cognitive computing

Abstract: For the last 30 years, image quality assessment has continuously gained larger research efforts along the development/presence of images in our daily life. In this Webinar, I will briefly introduce few concepts of this young science field: testing methods to capture observer’s opinion, computational prediction of visual quality and applications in Media industry. Current challenges and trends related to this science field will be illustrated mostly from the image delivery chain viewpoint: how to take into account context, new use cases (HDR, immersive media …), collecting more reliable subjective opinion as developing more robust metric (use cased oriented). Some relationship with the emerging field of cognitive computing will be also addressed (especially task-based quality metric) when AI-based computer vision systems are becoming as complex as Humans with ad hoc image quality requirements to operate properly.

Bio: Patrick Le Callet (IEEE Fellow) is Full Professor at Polytech Nantes / Université de Nantes (Engineering School) in the Electrical Engineering and the Computer Science de-partments. He is member of the Steering Board of the CNRS LS2N lab (450 researchers). He is also the scientific director of the cluster “Ouest Industries Créatives” gathering more than 10 institutions (including 3 universities). “Ouest Industries Créatives” aims to strengthen Research, Education & Innovation of the Region Pays de Loire in the field of Experience. He is mostly engaged in research dealing with the application of human vision modeling in image and video processing and cognitive computing. His current centers of interest are Quality of Experience assessment, Visual Attention modeling and applications, Perceptual Video Coding and Immersive Media Processing. He is co-author of more than 300 publications and communications and co-inventor of 16 international pa-tents on these topics. He serves or has been served as associate editor or guest editor for several Journals such as IEEE TIP, IEEE STSP, IEEE TCSVT, SPRINGER EURASIP Journal on Image and Video Processing, and SPIE JEI. He is serving in IEEE IVMSP-TC (2015- to present) and IEEE MMSP-TC (2015-to present) and one the founding member of EURASIP TAC (Special Areas Team) on Visual Image Processing. He is co -recipient of an Emmy Award in 2020 for his work on development of Perceptual metrics for video encoding optimization.
