UPDATED!!!
The file "calDistortion.m" demonstrates the unnormalized distortion value. See function to find more details.

Note that our parameters may different from paper described. However,
our performance of this released code is similar to that of paper.

There are two demo codes "main_oursDB.m" and "main_RMDB.m" for our dataset and RetargetMe.

In commend line in Matlab, you can type main_oursDB to get the final 
rank correlation result of the database we provided. To modify the
parameters of this program, please find the Image_settings.m to deal
with. Once you've tried different combination of the parameters to
obtain different results, they will be saved in form of "Date_OurDB_spatial.mat".
Execute analizeParaout.m to obtain the final rank correlation of the 
selected *.mat file.


If there is any problem, please contact with me.
