Just noticeable differences of compressed images

​The picture-wise just noticeable difference (PJND) for a given image and a compression scheme is a statistical quantity giving the smallest distortion that a subject can perceive when the image is compressed with the compression scheme. 
​
To estimate the PJND efficiently, two subjective assessment methods, a slider-based method and a keystroke-based method, were introduced and compared with a traditional one, the relaxed binary search method. The flicker test was applied and the PJND for 10 selected reference images from the MCL-JCI dataset with different distortion levels were assessed. A crowdsourcing study with side-by-side comparisons and forced choice was conducted as well.
