Abstract

Uav patrol has gradually become the main operation mode of transmission line patrol task, however, due to the influence of the shooting mode and weather, the patrol images are inevitably distorted, resulting in quality degradation. In order to effectively evaluate the patrol image quality, this paper proposes a no-reference quality assessment method. Specifically, we first construct a dedicated patrol image quality assessment database, and then propose a no-referenced quality assessment model based on structure, texture and exposure. The experimental result shows that the method surpasses existing methods and is highly consistent with the quality labels.
