Natural Scene Statistics (NSS) provides a robust foundation for NR-IQA. However, BRISQUE relies on the statistical features of image intensity and imposes a strong zero-mean assumption, which may not hold in practice and could limit its performance. This paper proposes a novel NR-IQA method, the Blind Image Quality Assessment Based on Statistical Features (BIQABSF) algorithm, which introduces two key improvements. First, we utilize the statistical features of log-contrast (LC), which more closely align with human visual perception. Second, the distribution of the locally normalized LC was modeled using a generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) without a zero-mean constraint, based on the empirical observation of its asymmetric nature. Specifically, we compute the Local Mean Subtracted Log-Contrast (LMSLC) and extract its distribution parameters as features for training a Support Vector Regression (SVR) model. Extensive experiments on the LIVE, TID2013, and CSIQ databases demonstrated that BIQABSF achieved highly competitive performance, even surpassing several deep learning-based methods in terms of efficiency and generalization, thereby demonstrating its potential as an efficient and generalizable solution for real-world applications.

However, BRISQUE relies on the statistical features of image intensity and imposes a strong zero-mean assumption, which may not hold in practice and could limit its performance. This paper proposes a novel NR-IQA method, the Blind Image Quality Assessment Based on Statistical Features (BIQABSF) algorithm, which introduces two key improvements. First, we utilize the statistical features of log-contrast (LC), which more closely align with human visual perception. Second, the distribution of the locally normalized LC was modeled using a generalized Gaussian distribution (GGD) without a zero-mean constraint, based on the empirical observation of its asymmetric nature. Specifically, we compute the Local Mean Subtracted Log-Contrast (LMSLC) and extract its distribution parameters as features for training a Support Vector Regression (SVR) model. Extensive experiments on the LIVE, TID2013, and CSIQ databases demonstrated that BIQABSF achieved highly competitive performance, even surpassing several deep learning-based methods in terms of efficiency and generalization, thereby demonstrating its potential as an efficient and generalizable solution for real-world applications.\u003c/p\u003e","manuscriptTitle":"BIQABSF: Blind Image Quality Assessment Based on Statistical Features","msid":"","msnumber":"","nonDraftVersions":[{"code":1,"date":"2025-11-03 03:13:24","doi":"10.21203/rs.3.rs-7860040/v1","editorialEvents":[{"type":"communityComments","content":0},{"type":"reviewerAgreed","content":"236358413039220083571932895523576661078","date":"2025-10-23T01:18:38+00:00","index":"hide","fulltext":""},{"type":"reviewersInvited","content":"","date":"2025-10-23T01:10:16+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorInvited","content":"","date":"2025-10-22T03:05:31+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"editorAssigned","content":"","date":"2025-10-16T01:27:14+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"checksComplete","content":"","date":"2025-10-16T01:26:36+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""},{"type":"submitted","content":"Scientific Reports","date":"2025-10-14T14:56:04+00:00","index":"","fulltext":""}],"status":"published","journal":{"display":true,"email":"[email protected]","identity":"scientific-reports","isNatureJournal":false,"hasQc":true,"allowDirectSubmit":false,"externalIdentity":"scirep","sideBox":"Learn more about [Scientific Reports](http://www.nature.com/srep/)","snPcode":"","submissionUrl":"","title":"Scientific Reports","twitterHandle":"","acdcEnabled":true,"dfaEnabled":true,"editorialSystem":"stoa","reportingPortfolio":"Scientific Reports","inReviewEnabled":true,"inReviewRevisionsEnabled":true}}],"origin":"","ownerIdentity":"b47c6883-d028-4e5d-8f3d-cb2f06c449f1","owner":[],"postedDate":"November 3rd, 2025","published":true,"recentEditorialEvents":[],"rejectedJournal":[],"revision":"","amendment":"","status":"published-in-journal","subjectAreas":[{"id":57282069,"name":"Biological sciences/Computational biology and bioinformatics"},{"id":57282070,"name":"Physical sciences/Mathematics and computing"}],"tags":[],"updatedAt":"2026-04-27T16:01:19+00:00","versionOfRecord":{"articleIdentity":"rs-7860040","link":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-42799-z","journal":{"identity":"scientific-reports","isVorOnly":false,"title":"Scientific Reports"},"publishedOn":"2026-04-24 15:57:36","publishedOnDateReadable":"April 24th, 2026"},"versionCreatedAt":"2025-11-03 03:13:24","video":"","vorDoi":"10.1038/s41598-026-42799-z","vorDoiUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1038/s41598-026-42799-z","workflowStages":[]},"version":"v1","identity":"rs-7860040","journalConfig":"researchsquare"},"__N_SSP":true},"page":"/article/[identity]/[[...version]]","query":{"redirect":"/article/rs-7860040","identity":"rs-7860040","version":["v1"]},"buildId":"8U1c8b4HqxoKbykW_rLl7","isFallback":false,"isExperimentalCompile":false,"dynamicIds":[84888],"gssp":true,"scriptLoader":[]}
