A novel objective quality assessment method is proposed for super-resolution images in this manuscript. We not only estimate the preserved information of each spatial location in the super-resolution image by structural similarity, but also compute the local phase coherence (LPC) with which we can detect the image blur in the super-resolution image. After the preserved structural information and blur information is obtained, an overall evaluation of visual quality of the super-resolution image can be computed. Experimental results show that the proposed objective quality assessment method can be used in the real applications with the original high-resolution images unavailable.
