An experimental PyTorch implementation of DB-CNN is released at https://github.com/zwx8981/DBCNN-PyTorch! Only support experiment on LIVE IQA right now, other datasets will be added soon!

Files under distorion_generator are used for synthesizing distorted images.

Usuage:

distorted_img = distortion_generator( img, dist_type, level, seed )

Where img is the original pristine image, dist_type refers to a specified distortion type ranging in 1~9.

1, Gaussian Blur
2, White Noise
3, JPEG Compression
4, JPEG2000 Compression
5, Contrast Change
6, Pink Noise
7, Image Color Quantization with Dither
8, Over-Exposure
9, Under-Exposure

level is a specified degradation level range in 1~5.

seed should be fixed to be 1.

Training codes live in dbcnn folder.

Running the run_exp.m script to train and test on a specifid dataset across 10 random splits.

Prerequisite: Matlab(We use 2017a), MatConvNet (We use 1.0-beta25), vlfeat(We use 0.9.2)

Pretrained s-cnn model is included in dbcnn\data\models, you should download vgg-16 model from http://www.vlfeat.org/matconvnet/pretrained/ and put it in dbcnn\data\models.
