Subjective image quality assessment (IQA) based on pairwise comparison (PC) overcome the shortcomings of IQA based on category rating, such as an ambiguous scale definition. However, the testing scale of PC tests can be very large, as the number of image pairs for comparison is a quadratic form of t...
