• Abstract: While abundant research has been conducted on improving high-level visual understanding and reasoning capabilities of large multimodal models~(LMMs), their visual quality assessment~(IQA) ability has been relatively under-explored. Here we take initial steps towards this goal by employing the two-alternative forced choice~(2AFC) prompting, as 2AFC is widely regarded as the most reliable way of collecting human opinions of visual quality. Subsequently, the global quality score of each image estimated by a particular LMM can be efficiently aggregated using the maximum a posterior estimation. Meanwhile, we introduce three evaluation criteria: consistency, accuracy, and correlation, to provide comprehensive quantifications and deeper insights into the IQA capability of five LMMs. Extensive experiments show that existing LMMs exhibit remarkable IQA ability on coarse-grained quality comparison, but there is room for improvement on fine-grained quality discrimination. The proposed dataset sheds light on the future development of IQA models based on LMMs. The codes will be made publicly available at https://github.com/h4nwei/2AFC-LMMs.

  This study aims to investigate the feasibility of imparting Point Cloud Quality Assessment (PCQA) knowledge to large multi-modality models (LMMs) We transform quality labels into textual descriptions during the fine-tuning phase, enabling LMMs to derive quality rating logits from 2D projections of point clouds. Our experimental results affirm the effectiveness of our approach, showcasing a novel integration of LMMs into PCQA.
