JLD: Perceptual Distance Through A Jacobian Lens

Excerpt

arXiv:2610.05967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Image compression, restoration, and generation all require a way to measure how different two images look to a person. Pixel error ignores how people see, while the most accurate perceptual distances are typically fitted to human judgments, tying them to a fixed data and resolution. For example, when image resolution is doubled, the correlation of DISTS with human scores on TID2013 drops from 0.815 to 0.717. We introduce the Jacobian Lens Distanc
