Video quality significantly affects video classification. We found this problem when we classified Mild Cognitive Impairment well from clear videos, but worse from blurred ones. From then, we realized that referring to Video Quality…
Blind or no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) is a fundamental, unsolved, and yet challenging problem due to the unavailability of a reference image. It is vital to the streaming and social media industries that impact billions of…
360-degree videos have gained increasing popularity in recent years with the developments and advances in Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) technologies. In such applications, a user only watches a video scene within a field…
High frame rate videos are increasingly getting popular in recent years, driven by the strong requirements of the entertainment and streaming industries to provide high quality of experiences to consumers. To achieve the best trade-offs…
The explosion of user-generated videos stimulates a great demand for no-reference video quality assessment (NR-VQA). Inspired by our observation on the actions of human annotation, we put forward a Divide and Conquer Video Quality Estimator…
Viewport prediction is the crucial task for adaptive 360-degree video streaming, as the bitrate control algorithms usually require the knowledge of the user's viewing portions of the frames. Various methods are studied and adopted for…
No-reference video quality assessment (NR-VQA) for gaming videos is challenging due to limited human-rated datasets and unique content characteristics including fast motion, stylized graphics, and compression artifacts. We present MTL-VQA,…
Virtual reality (VR) is making waves around the world recently. However, traditional video streaming is not suitable for VR video because of the huge size and view switch requirements of VR videos. Since the view of each user is limited, it…
Recent works in video quality assessment (VQA) typically employ monolithic models that typically predict a single quality score for each test video. These approaches cannot provide diagnostic, interpretable feedback, offering little insight…
In today's Internet, HTTP Adaptive Streaming (HAS) is the mainstream standard for video streaming, which switches the bitrate of the video content based on an Adaptive BitRate (ABR) algorithm. An effective Quality of Experience (QoE)…
Long-form videos that span across wide temporal intervals are highly information redundant and contain multiple distinct events or entities that are often loosely related. Therefore, when performing long-form video question answering…
Video frame interpolation (VFI) is a fundamental research topic in video processing, which is currently attracting increased attention across the research community. While the development of more advanced VFI algorithms has been extensively…
Video Question Answering (VideoQA) is a challenging video understanding task since it requires a deep understanding of both question and video. Previous studies mainly focus on extracting sophisticated visual and language embeddings, fusing…
The integration of advanced video codecs into the streaming pipeline is growing in response to the increasing demand for high quality video content. However, the significant computational demand for advanced codecs like Versatile Video…
Diffusion models have shown superior performance in real-world video super-resolution (VSR). However, the slow processing speeds and heavy resource consumption of diffusion models hinder their practical application and deployment.…
Face video restoration (FVR) is a challenging but important problem where one seeks to recover a perceptually realistic face videos from a low-quality input. While diffusion probabilistic models (DPMs) have been shown to achieve remarkable…
Quality assessment for User Generated Content (UGC) videos plays an important role in ensuring the viewing experience of end-users. Previous UGC video quality assessment (VQA) studies either use the image recognition model or the image…
Learning based video compression attracts increasing attention in the past few years. The previous hybrid coding approaches rely on pixel space operations to reduce spatial and temporal redundancy, which may suffer from inaccurate motion…
We consider the problem of conducting frame rate dependent video quality assessment (VQA) on videos of diverse frame rates, including high frame rate (HFR) videos. More generally, we study how perceptual quality is affected by frame rate,…
In conventional HTTP-based adaptive streaming (HAS), a video source is encoded at multiple levels of constant bitrate representations, and a client makes its representation selections according to the measured network bandwidth. While…
