• Authors: Shankhanil Mitra and Rajiv Soundararajan
• Abstract summary: We design a self-supervised framework to generate robust quality aware features for videos. We then propose a dual-model based Semi Supervised Learning (SSL) method specifically designed for the Video Quality Assessment task. Our SSL-VQA method uses the ST-VQRL backbone to produce robust performances across various VQA datasets. Our model improves the state-of-the-art performance when trained only with limited data by around 10%, and by around 15% when unlabelled data is also used in SSL.

• Abstract: Perceptual quality assessment of user generated content (UGC) videos is challenging due to the requirement of large scale human annotated videos for training. In this work, we address this challenge by first designing a self-supervised Spatio-Temporal Visual Quality Representation Learning (ST-VQRL) framework to generate robust quality aware features for videos. Then, we propose a dual-model based Semi Supervised Learning (SSL) method specifically designed for the Video Quality Assessment (SSL-VQA) task, through a novel knowledge transfer of quality predictions between the two models. Our SSL-VQA method uses the ST-VQRL backbone to produce robust performances across various VQA datasets including cross-database settings, despite being learned with limited human annotated videos. Our model improves the state-of-the-art performance when trained only with limited data by around 10%, and by around 15% when unlabelled data is also used in SSL.

  Video Quality Assessment (VQA) is a classic field in low-level visual perception. Recent studies in the image domain have demonstrated that Visual Question Answering (VQA) can enhance markedly low-level visual quality evaluation. We introduce the VQA2 Instruction dataset - the first visual question answering instruction dataset that focuses on video quality assessment. The VQA2 series models interleave visual and motion tokens to enhance the perception of spatial-temporal quality details in videos.

  Video quality assessment (VQA) is a challenging problem due to the numerous factors that can affect the perceptual quality of a video. Annotating the Mean opinion score (MOS) for videos is expensive and time-consuming, which limits the scale of VQA datasets. We propose a VQA method named PTM-VQA, which leverages PreTrained Models to transfer knowledge from models pretrained on various pre-tasks.

  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.
