A no-reference perceptual texture regularity metric

This paper presents a no reference perceptual metric that quantifies the degree of regularity in textures. The metric is based on the probability of visual attention at each pixel of the texture image, similarity of visual attention of the textural primitives and the periodic spatial distribution of foveated fixation regions throughout the image. It is shown through subjective testing that the proposed metric has a strong correlation with the Mean Opinion Score for the regularity of textures.
