• Abstract: Image quality assessment(IQA) is of increasing importance for image-based applications. Its purpose is to establish a model that can replace humans for accurately evaluating image quality. According to whether the reference image is complete and available, image quality evaluation can be divided into three categories: full-reference(FR), reduced-reference(RR), and non-reference(NR) image quality assessment. Due to the vigorous development of deep learning and the widespread attention of researchers, several non-reference image quality assessment methods based on deep learning have been proposed in recent years, and some have exceeded the performance of reduced -reference or even full-reference image quality assessment models. This article will review the concepts and metrics of image quality assessment and also video quality assessment, briefly introduce some methods of full-reference and semi-reference image quality assessment, and focus on the non-reference image quality assessment methods based on deep learning. Then introduce the commonly used synthetic database and real-world database. Finally, summarize and present challenges.

  The metric of measuring the quality in most face swapping methods relies on several distances between the manipulated images and the source image. We present a novel no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) method specifically designed for face swapping.

  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.

• Conformer and Blind Noisy Students for Improved Image Quality Assessment [80.57006406834466]
  Learning-based approaches for perceptual image quality assessment (IQA) usually require both the distorted and reference image for measuring the perceptual quality accurately. In this work, we explore the performance of transformer-based full-reference IQA models. We also propose a method for IQA based on semi-supervised knowledge distillation from full-reference teacher models into blind student models.

• Confusing Image Quality Assessment: Towards Better Augmented Reality Experience [96.29124666702566]
  We consider AR technology as the superimposition of virtual scenes and real scenes, and introduce visual confusion as its basic theory. A ConFusing Image Quality Assessment (CFIQA) database is established, which includes 600 reference images and 300 distorted images generated by mixing reference images in pairs. An objective metric termed CFIQA is also proposed to better evaluate the confusing image quality.

Based on the proposed quality measurement, we propose a deep Tiny Face Quality network (tinyFQnet) to learn a quality prediction function from data.
