• Title: Multi-task deep CNN model for no-reference image quality assessment on smartphone camera photos
• Authors: Chen-Hsiu Huang, Ja-Ling Wu
• Abstract summary: We propose a multi-task deep CNN model with scene type detection as an auxiliary task. With the shared model parameters in the convolution layer, the learned feature maps could become more scene-relevant. The evaluation result shows improved SROCC performance compared to traditional NR-IQA methods and single task CNN-based models.

• Abstract: Smartphone is the most successful consumer electronic product in today's mobile social network era. The smartphone camera quality and its image post-processing capability is the dominant factor that impacts consumer's buying decision. However, the quality evaluation of photos taken from smartphones remains a labor-intensive work and relies on professional photographers and experts. As an extension of the prior CNN-based NR-IQA approach, we propose a multi-task deep CNN model with scene type detection as an auxiliary task. With the shared model parameters in the convolution layer, the learned feature maps could become more scene-relevant and enhance the performance. The evaluation result shows improved SROCC performance compared to traditional NR-IQA methods and single task CNN-based models.

  No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) can ecaluate image quality in real-time on mobile devices and enhance user experience. Existing NR-IQA methods often resize or crop the HR images into small resolution, which leads to a loss of important details. We propose MobileIQA, a novel approach that utilizes lightweight backbones to efficiently assess image quality while preserving image details.

  We introduce a dual-branch network for portrait image quality assessment (PIQA) We utilize two backbone networks (textiti.e., Swin Transformer-B) to extract the quality-aware features from the entire portrait image and the facial image cropped from it. We leverage LIQE, an image scene classification and quality assessment model, to capture the quality-aware and scene-specific features as the auxiliary features.

  The images captured by under-display cameras (UDCs) are degraded by the screen in front of them.

We propose a lightweight model for blind UDC Image Restoration and HDR, and we also provide a benchmark comparing the performance and runtime of different methods on smartphones.
