Unsupervised remote photoplethysmography (rPPG) promises to leverage unlabeled video data, but its potential is hindered by a critical challenge: training on low-quality "in-the-wild" videos severely degrades model performance. An essential…
A long-held challenge in no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) learning from human subjective perception is the lack of objective generalization to unseen natural distortions. To address this, we integrate a novel Depth-Guided…
Perceptual video quality assessment (VQA) is an integral component of many streaming and video sharing platforms. Here we consider the problem of learning perceptually relevant video quality representations in a self-supervised manner.…
Deep learning-based video quality assessment (deep VQA) has demonstrated significant potential in surpassing conventional metrics, with promising improvements in terms of correlation with human perception. However, the practical deployment…
Full-reference (FR) image quality assessment (IQA) models assume a high quality "pristine" image as a reference against which to measure perceptual image quality. In many applications, however, the assumption that the reference image is of…
DeepSeek-R1 has demonstrated remarkable effectiveness in incentivizing reasoning and generalization capabilities of large language models (LLMs) through reinforcement learning. Nevertheless, the potential of reasoning-induced computation…
Image quality assessment (IQA) is traditionally classified into full-reference (FR) IQA and no-reference (NR) IQA according to whether the original image is required. Although NR-IQA is widely used in practical applications, room for…
Development of perceptual image quality assessment (IQA) metrics has been of significant interest to computer vision community. The aim of these metrics is to model quality of an image as perceived by humans. Recent works in Full-reference…
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…
Blind visual quality assessment (BVQA) on 360{\textdegree} video plays a key role in optimizing immersive multimedia systems. When assessing the quality of 360{\textdegree} video, human tends to perceive its quality degradation from the…
Image quality assessment is a fundamental problem in the field of image processing, and due to the lack of reference images in most practical scenarios, no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA), has gained increasing attention…
The state of the art in video super-resolution (SR) are techniques based on deep learning, but they perform poorly on real-world videos (see Figure 1). The reason is that training image-pairs are commonly created by downscaling a…
This paper introduces a Video Quality Assessment (VQA) problem that has received little attention in the literature, called the latent resolution prediction problem. The problem arises when images or videos are upscaled from their native…
The process of rendering high dynamic range (HDR) images to be viewed on conventional displays is called tone mapping. However, tone mapping introduces distortions in the final image which may lead to visual displeasure. To quantify these…
This paper uses robust statistics and curvelet transform to learn a general-purpose no-reference (NR) image quality assessment (IQA) model. The new approach, here called M1, competes with the Curvelet Quality Assessment proposed in 2014…
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…
Video super-resolution plays an important role in surveillance video analysis and ultra-high-definition video display, which has drawn much attention in both the research and industrial communities. Although many deep learning-based VSR…

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…
As super-resolution (SR) techniques introduce unique distortions that fundamentally differ from those caused by traditional degradation processes (e.g., compression), there is an increasing demand for specialized video quality assessment…
