• Abstract: Automated and robust portrait quality assessment (PQA) is of paramount importance in high-impact applications such as smartphone photography. This paper presents FHIQA, a learning-based approach to PQA that introduces a simple but effective quality score rescaling method based on image semantics, to enhance the precision of fine-grained image quality metrics while ensuring robust generalization to various scene settings beyond the training dataset. The proposed approach is validated by extensive experiments on the PIQ23 benchmark and comparisons with the current state of the art. The source code of FHIQA will be made publicly available on the PIQ23 GitHub repository at https://github.com/DXOMARK-Research/PIQ2023.

  Blind image quality assessment (IQA) in the wild presents significant challenges. Given the difficulty in collecting large-scale training data, leveraging limited data to develop a model with strong generalization remains an open problem. Motivated by the robust image perception capabilities of pre-trained text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models, we propose a novel IQA method, diffusion priors-based IQA.

  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.

• Pairwise Comparisons Are All You Need [22.798716660911833]
  Blind image quality assessment (BIQA) approaches often fall short in real-world scenarios due to their reliance on a generic quality standard applied uniformly across diverse images. This paper introduces PICNIQ, a pairwise comparison framework designed to bypass the limitations of conventional BIQA. By employing psychometric scaling algorithms, PICNIQ transforms pairwise comparisons into just-objectionable-difference (JOD) quality scores, offering a granular and interpretable measure of image quality.

  We present a simple yet effective continual learning method for blind image quality assessment (BIQA) The key step in our approach is to freeze all convolution filters of a pre-trained deep neural network (DNN) for an explicit promise of stability. We assign each new IQA dataset (i.e., task) a prediction head, and load the corresponding normalization parameters to produce a quality score. The final quality estimate is computed by black a weighted summation of predictions from all heads with a lightweight $K$-means gating mechanism.
