Observer-dependent image enhancement

In many image-processing applications the image quality should be improved to support the human perception. Image quality evaluation by human observers is, however, heavily subjective in nature. Individual observers judge the image quality differently. In many cases, the quality of the relevant part of image information, which is perceived by the observer, should reach a maximum. In previous works an overall system for subjective image enhancement, which is based on fusion of different algorithms, was introduced. In this paper, more details of the overall-system structure are provided. Furthermore, the test results for contrast and sharpness/smoothness as interesting image qualities are also presented.
