Service providers must encode a large volume of noisy videos to meet the demand for user-generated content (UGC) in online video-sharing platforms. However, low-quality UGC challenges conventional codecs based on rate-distortion…
Video quality assessment (VQA) is a challenging problem due to the numerous factors that can affect the perceptual quality of a video, \eg, content attractiveness, distortion type, motion pattern, and level. However, annotating the Mean…
Video restoration (e.g., video super-resolution) aims to restore high-quality frames from low-quality frames. Different from single image restoration, video restoration generally requires to utilize temporal information from multiple…
Video quality assessment (VQA) is a fundamental computer vision task that aims to predict the perceptual quality of a given video in alignment with human judgments. Existing performant VQA models trained with direct score supervision suffer…
Video quality assessment (VQA) is now a fast-growing subject, maturing in the full reference (FR) case, yet challenging in the exploding no reference (NR) case. We investigate variants of the popular VMAF video quality assessment algorithm…
Short-form video poses new challenges to the quality assessment of user-generated content (UGC) due to its complex generation pipeline, rapid content variation, and mixed distortions. To address this challenge, we propose an end-to-end…
