The concept of image similarity is ambiguous, meaning that images that are considered similar in one context might not be in another. This ambiguity motivates the creation of metrics for specific contexts. This work explores the ability of the successful deep perceptual similarity (DPS) metrics to adapt to a given context. Recently, DPS metrics have emerged using the deep features of neural networks for comparing images. These metrics have been successful on datasets that leverage the average human perception in limited settings. But the question remains if they could be adapted to specific contexts of similarity. No single metric can suit all definitions of similarity and previous metrics have been rule-based which are labor intensive to rewrite for new contexts. DPS metrics, on the other hand, use neural networks which might be retrained for each context. However, retraining networks takes resources and might ruin performance on previous tasks. This work examines the adaptability of DPS metrics by training positive scalars for the deep features of pretrained CNNs to correctly measure similarity for different contexts. Evaluation is performed on contexts defined by randomly ordering six image distortions (e.g. rotation) by which should be considered more similar when applied to an image. This also gives insight into whether the features in the CNN is enough to discern different distortions without retraining. Finally, the trained metrics are evaluated on a perceptual similarity dataset to evaluate if adapting to an ordering affects their performance on established scenarios. The findings show that DPS metrics can be adapted with high performance. While the adapted metrics have difficulties with the same contexts as baselines, performance is improved in 99% of cases. Finally, it is shown that the adaption is not significantly detrimental to prior performance on perceptual similarity.
