Understanding the correlation between two different scores for the same set of items is a common problem in information retrieval, and the most commonly used statistics that quantifies this correlation is Kendall's $\tau$. However, the…
Blind image quality assessment (BIQA) aims to predict perceptual image quality scores without access to reference images. State-of-the-art BIQA methods typically require subjects to score a large number of images to train a robust model.…
Image Quality Assessment (IQA) algorithms evaluate the perceptual quality of an image using evaluation scores that assess the similarity or difference between two images. We propose a new low-level feature based IQA technique, which applies…
Measures of rank correlation are commonly used in statistics to capture the degree of concordance between two orderings of the same set of items. Standard measures like Kendall's tau and Spearman's rho coefficient put equal emphasis on each…
Image quality assessment (IQA) forms a natural and often straightforward undertaking for humans, yet effective automation of the task remains highly challenging. Recent metrics from the deep learning community commonly compare image pairs…
Image quality assessment (IQA) is the key factor for the fast development of image restoration (IR) algorithms. The most recent perceptual IR algorithms based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) have brought in significant improvement…
Traditional image quality assessment (IQA) methods rely on mean opinion scores (MOS), which are resource-intensive to collect and fail to provide interpretable, localized feedback on specific image distortions. We overcome these limitations…
Deep neural networks have demonstrated impressive success in No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA). However, recent researches highlight the vulnerability of NR-IQA models to subtle adversarial perturbations, leading to…
No reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) is a task to estimate the perceptual quality of an image without its corresponding original image. It is even more difficult to perform this task in a zero-shot manner, i.e., without…
Several metrics exist to quantify the similarity between images, but they are inefficient when it comes to measure the similarity of highly distorted images. In this work, we propose to empirically investigate perceptual metrics based on…
Recent advances in reasoning-induced image quality assessment (IQA) have demonstrated the power of reinforcement learning to rank (RL2R) for training vision-language models (VLMs) to assess perceptual quality. However, existing approaches…
Image Quality Assessment (IQA) models benefit significantly from semantic information, which allows them to treat different types of objects distinctly. Currently, leveraging semantic information to enhance IQA is a crucial research…
Scale-invariance is an open problem in many computer vision subfields. For example, object labels should remain constant across scales, yet model predictions diverge in many cases. This problem gets harder for tasks where the ground-truth…
Image quality that is consistent with human opinion is assessed by a perceptual image quality assessment (IQA) that defines/utilizes a computational model. A good model should take effectiveness and efficiency into consideration, but most…
A fundamental problem in statistics is measuring the correlation between two rankings of a set of items. Kendall's $\tau$ and Spearman's $\rho$ are well established correlation coefficients whose symmetric structure guarantees zero expected…
Unifying Image Quality Assessment (IQA) and Image Aesthetic Assessment (IAA) in a single multimodal large language model is appealing, yet existing methods adopt a task-agnostic recipe that applies the same reasoning strategy and reward to…
Image Quality Assessment algorithms predict a quality score for a pristine or distorted input image, such that it correlates with human opinion. Traditional methods required a non-distorted "reference" version of the input image to compare…
Research on image quality assessment (IQA) remains limited mainly due to our incomplete knowledge about human visual perception. Existing IQA algorithms have been designed or trained with insufficient subjective data with a small degree of…
Image caption rating is becoming increasingly important because computer-generated captions are used extensively for descriptive annotation. However, rating the accuracy of captions in describing images is time-consuming and subjective in…
Scientific images fundamentally differ from natural and AI-generated images in that they encode structured domain knowledge rather than merely depict visual scenes. Assessing their quality therefore requires evaluating not only perceptual…
