We consider the problem of capturing distortions arising from changes in frame rate as part of Video Quality Assessment (VQA). Variable frame rate (VFR) videos have become much more common, and streamed videos commonly range from 30 frames…
High dynamic range (HDR) imagery offers a rich and faithful representation of scene radiance, but remains challenging for generative models due to its mismatch with the bounded, perceptually compressed data on which these models are…
No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) remains a challenging task due to the diversity of distortions and the lack of large annotated datasets. Many studies have attempted to tackle these challenges by developing more accurate…
Continual Visual Question Answering (VQA) requires learning from non-stationary streams of visual inputs and questions while preserving past knowledge. Most prior methods adapt by updating a largely shared parameter set. This often leads to…
While no-reference point cloud quality assessment (NR-PCQA) approaches have achieved significant progress over the past decade, their performance often degrades substantially when a distribution gap exists between the training (source…
The design of image and video quality assessment (QA) algorithms is extremely important to benchmark and calibrate user experience in modern visual systems. A major drawback of the state-of-the-art QA methods is their limited ability to…
High Dynamic Range Novel View Synthesis (HDR NVS) seeks to learn an HDR 3D model from Low Dynamic Range (LDR) training images captured under conventional imaging conditions. Current methods primarily focus on static scenes, implicitly…
Since the adoption of VP9 by Netflix in 2016, royalty-free coding standards continued to gain prominence through the activities of the AOMedia consortium. AV1, the latest open source standard, is now widely supported. In the early years…
Existing real-world video super-resolution (VSR) methods focus on designing a general degradation pipeline for open-domain videos while ignoring data intrinsic characteristics which strongly limit their performance when applying to some…
Video quality assessment (VQA) methods focus on particular degradation types, usually artificially induced on a small set of reference videos. Hence, most traditional VQA methods under-perform in-the-wild. Deep learning approaches have had…
Most conventional supervised super-resolution (SR) algorithms assume that low-resolution (LR) data is obtained by downscaling high-resolution (HR) data with a fixed known kernel, but such an assumption often does not hold in real scenarios.…
Due to the fluctuation of throughput under various network conditions, how to choose a proper bitrate adaptively for real-time video streaming has become an upcoming and interesting issue. Recent work focuses on providing high video…
High-Dynamic-Range Visual-Difference-Predictor version 3, or HDR-VDP-3, is a visual metric that can fulfill several tasks, such as full-reference image/video quality assessment, prediction of visual differences between a pair of images, or…
The explosive growth of videos on streaming media platforms has underscored the urgent need for effective video quality assessment (VQA) algorithms to monitor and perceptually optimize the quality of streaming videos. However, VQA remains…
Real-time understanding of continuous video streams is essential for intelligent agents operating in high-stakes environments, including autonomous vehicles, surveillance drones, and disaster response robots. Yet, most existing video…
