ABSTRACT
In this paper, we exploit a new database of distorted test
images TID2008 for verification of full-reference metrics
of image visual quality. A comparative analysis of
TID20008 and its nearest analog LIVE Database is
presented. For a wide variety of known metrics, their
correspondence to human visual system is evaluated. The
values of rank correlations of Spearman and Kendall with
the considered metrics and Mean Opinion Score (MOS)
obtained by exploiting TID2008 in experiments are
presented. The metrics are verified for both full set of
distorted test images in TID2008 (1700 distorted images,
17 types of distortions) and for particular subsets of
TID2008 that include distortions most important for
