Abstract
Motivated by the ability of humans to quickly and accurately detect visual artifacts in images, a neural network model is trained to identify and locate visual artifacts in a sequence of rendered images without comparing the sequence of rendered images against a ground truth reference. Examples of visual artifacts include aliasing, blurriness, mosaicking, and overexposure. The neural network model provides a useful fully-automated tool for evaluating the quality of images produced by rendering systems. The neural network model may be trained to evaluate the quality of images for video processing, encoding, and/or compression techniques. In an embodiment, the sequence includes at least four images corresponding to a video or animation.
