Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper studies the function approximation of visual importance map that can be used for general purposes in image quality assessment. Conventional techniques that estimate the visual importance by eye tracking have many problems such as a loss of time, an enormous effort of a preliminary experiment, and an expensive equipment. Therefore, by analyzing the correlation between SSIM in local areas and subjective evaluation of the image, we estimate the human’s gazing area and create the visual importance map. Experimental results have shown the high correlation between subjective evaluation and weighted SSIM based on the visual importance map. The proposed technique can be used widely even if the ROI is unknown.
