Maria G. Martini

Maria G. Martini is a Professor at Kingston University London, UK, with an extensive research portfolio spanning over two decades in multimedia quality assessment, video compression, and medical imaging. Her work demonstrates strong international collaboration, particularly with European researchers including Péter A. Kara (31 publications) and Nabajeet Barman (30 publications).

Her primary research interests focus on Video Quality Assessment, Medical Imaging, Light Field Displays, Neuromorphic Vision Sensors, and Quality of Experience modeling. Recent work has centered on medical image quality assessment, neuromorphic vision sensor data compression, and gaming video streaming applications, reflecting her ability to adapt to emerging technologies while maintaining core expertise in quality metrics.

Analysis of her recent publications (2022-2025) reveals a strong trend toward specialized quality assessment methodologies for emerging visual technologies, including neuromorphic sensors, light field displays, and medical imaging applications. Her work bridges theoretical quality metrics with practical implementation challenges, often addressing standardization needs and dataset documentation to improve research reproducibility.

Martini has contributed significantly to quality metric standardization efforts, particularly regarding the Bjøntegaard Delta metric and SSIM-PSNR relationships for compressed content. Her recent publications in IEEE Transactions and other high-impact journals demonstrate continued research leadership in the field.

Her research methodology consistently combines objective quality metrics with subjective evaluation frameworks, addressing both technical implementation challenges and human perception aspects. This dual approach has positioned her work as influential in both academic and standardization contexts.
