As machine learning (ML) models for image perception continue to advance, ensuring their robustness and reliability under various real-world scenarios remains a significant challenge. Image quality factors, such as blur, brightness, and other environmental conditions, can significantly affect the performance of these algorithms, leading to inaccurate detection and potential failures in critical applications. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive diagnosis framework that leverages image quality metrics to assess and enhance the performance of these algorithms. To accomplish this goal, we deliberately introduce disturbances in parameters such as brightness, saturation, and other relevant factors. Subsequently, we compute a set of full-reference image quality metrics to evaluate the image quality after the perturbations. Once we have obtained the metrics, we apply a nonlinear transformation to these values. Based on the transformed metrics, we create a regression model that predicts the detection Intersection over Union (IOU). To validate our framework, we conducted experiments using three state-of-the-art machine learning models for object detection and instance segmentation. The models were subjected to various scenarios with different levels of image quality perturbations. Our experimental results clearly demonstrate the possibility of establishing a strong correlation between image quality metrics and the performance of the algorithms.
