• Abstract: We introduce a novel cross-reference image quality assessment method that effectively fills the gap in the image assessment landscape, complementing the array of established evaluation schemes -- ranging from full-reference metrics like SSIM, no-reference metrics such as NIQE, to general-reference metrics including FID, and Multi-modal-reference metrics, e.g., CLIPScore. Utilising a neural network with the cross-attention mechanism and a unique data collection pipeline from NVS optimisation, our method enables accurate image quality assessment without requiring ground truth references. By comparing a query image against multiple views of the same scene, our method addresses the limitations of existing metrics in novel view synthesis (NVS) and similar tasks where direct reference images are unavailable. Experimental results show that our method is closely correlated to the full-reference metric SSIM, while not requiring ground truth references.

  No-reference image quality assessment is a challenging domain that addresses estimating image quality without the original reference. We introduce an improved mechanism to extract local and non-local information from images via different transformer encoders and CNNs. A self-consistency approach to self-supervision is presented, explicitly addressing the degradation of no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) models.

  Referring Remote Sensing Image (RRSIS) is a new challenge that combines computer vision and natural language processing. Traditional Referring Image (RIS) approaches have been impeded by the complex spatial scales and orientations found in aerial imagery. We introduce the Rotated Multi-Scale Interaction Network (RMSIN), an innovative approach designed for the unique demands of RRSIS.

  We propose a new contrastive-based evaluation metric for image captioning, namely Positive-Augmented Contrastive learning Score (PAC-S) PAC-S unifies the learning of a contrastive visual-semantic space with the addition of generated images and text on curated data. Experiments spanning several datasets demonstrate that our new metric achieves the highest correlation with human judgments on both images and videos.

• Introspective Deep Metric Learning for Image Retrieval [80.29866561553483]
  We argue that a good similarity model should consider the semantic discrepancies with caution to better deal with ambiguous images for more robust training. We propose to represent an image using not only a semantic embedding but also an accompanying uncertainty embedding, which describes the semantic characteristics and ambiguity of an image, respectively. The proposed IDML framework improves the performance of deep metric learning through uncertainty modeling and attains state-of-the-art results on the widely used CUB-200-2011, Cars196, and Stanford Online Products datasets.

  We propose a learning-based framework, Reference-guided Image Synthesis Assessment (RISA) to quantitatively evaluate the quality of a single generated image. As this annotation is too coarse as a supervision signal, we introduce two techniques: 1) a pixel-wise scheme to refine the coarse labels, and 2) multiple binary classifiers to replace a na"ive regressor. RISA is highly consistent with human preference and transfers well across models.

Experiments spanning several corpora demonstrate that our new reference-free metric, CLIPScore, achieves the highest correlation with human judgements. We also present a reference-augmented version, RefCLIPScore, which achieves even higher correlation.
