英文摘要： This project, aiming at solving the problem that the otherness among individual cognitions and the instability of the results in subjective quality assessment, explores the quality assessment method to obtain the visual perceptual quality through analysis the spatio-temporal correlation of electroencephalography (EEG) signal which contains abundant physiological and psychological information. This project is implemented by designing the pattern of perceptual assessment to capture effective EEG signal, constructing learning model to extract feature via keeping the EEG’s spatio-temporal correlation structure, and building criterion to quantitatively describe the relationship between the EEG and perceptual quality. The main research contents include: (1) design the test pattern of the visual quality assessment to capture EEG signal through constructing the mode of stimulation, designing the pattern of perceptual test, and modeling the form of cognitive response. (2) analysis the spatio-temporal characteristic of EEG signal through studying the spatio-temporal correlation of multi-channel EEGs, and extracting the characteristics which can represent visual perception quality effectively; (3) build the relationship model between the features of EEG signal and perceptual quality through studying the law of EEG changes as perceptual quality, designing the criterion of quantitative description, and modeling the mapping relationship between the EEG and perceptual quality. In summary, based on the physiological mechanisms of EEG, a new framework of visual perceptual assessment is constructed via combining with low-rank representation and deep learning. It can provide some new ideas for image quality assessment theory, and also provide the theoretical basis and technical support for studying the perception and cognitive mechanism of the human visual system.
