• Abstract: In the video coding process, the perceived quality of a compressed video is evaluated by full-reference quality evaluation metrics. However, it is difficult to obtain reference videos with perfect quality. To solve this problem, it is critical to design no-reference compressed video quality assessment algorithms, which assists in measuring the quality of experience on the server side and resource allocation on the network side. Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has shown its advantage in Video Quality Assessment (VQA) with promising successes in recent years. A large-scale quality database is very important for learning accurate and powerful compressed video quality metrics. In this work, a semi-automatic labeling method is adopted to build a large-scale compressed video quality database, which allows us to label a large number of compressed videos with manageable human workload. The resulting Compressed Video quality database with Semi-Automatic Ratings (CVSAR), so far the largest of compressed video quality database. We train a no-reference compressed video quality assessment model with a 3D CNN for SpatioTemporal Feature Extraction and Evaluation (STFEE). Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art metrics and achieves promising generalization performance in cross-database tests. The CVSAR database and STFEE model will be made publicly available to facilitate reproducible research.

  We try to systemically investigate the AIGC-VQA problem from both subjective and objective quality assessment perspectives. We evaluate the perceptual quality of AIGC videos from three dimensions: spatial quality, temporal quality, and text-to-video alignment. We propose a Unify Generated Video Quality assessment (UGVQ) model to comprehensively and accurately evaluate the quality of AIGC videos.

  Blind quality prediction of in-the-wild videos is quite challenging, since the quality degradations of content are unpredictable, complicated, and often commingled. Here we contribute to advancing the problem by conducting a comprehensive evaluation of leading VQA models. By employing a feature selection strategy on top of leading VQA model features, we are able to extract 60 of the 763 statistical features used by the leading models. Our experimental results show that VIDEVAL achieves state-of-theart performance at considerably lower computational cost than other leading models.
