Abstract

This paper proves that the Jensen-Shannon Divergence (JSD) is a good information theory measure of the visibility cost of a degraded region in a pictorial scene. Hence, it can be combined with Michelson contrast for building a visual rate-distortion curve. The latter allows to optimize parameters of restoration algorithms. Some results on both synthetic and real data show the potential of the proposed approach.
