• Abstract: Face video quality assessment (FVQA) deserves to be explored in addition to general video quality assessment (VQA), as face videos are the primary content on social media platforms and human visual system (HVS) is particularly sensitive to human faces. However, FVQA is rarely explored due to the lack of large-scale FVQA datasets. To fill this gap, we present the first large-scale in-the-wild FVQA dataset, FVQ-20K, which contains 20,000 in-the-wild face videos together with corresponding mean opinion score (MOS) annotations. Along with the FVQ-20K dataset, we further propose a specialized FVQA method named FVQ-Rater to achieve human-like rating and scoring for face video, which is the first attempt to explore the potential of large multimodal models (LMMs) for the FVQA task. Concretely, we elaborately extract multi-dimensional features including spatial features, temporal features, and face-specific features (i.e., portrait features and face embeddings) to provide comprehensive visual information, and take advantage of the LoRA-based instruction tuning technique to achieve quality-specific fine-tuning, which shows superior performance on both FVQ-20K and CFVQA datasets. Extensive experiments and comprehensive analysis demonstrate the significant potential of the FVQ-20K dataset and FVQ-Rater method in promoting the development of FVQA.

These explanation-level opinions allow us to measure the relationships between specific quality factors and abstract subjective quality ratings.

  Previous video quality assessment (VQA) studies either use the image recognition model or the image quality assessment (IQA) models to extract frame-level features of videos for quality regression. We propose a very simple but effective VQA model, which trains an end-to-end spatial feature extraction network to learn the quality-aware spatial feature representation from raw pixels of the video frames. With the better quality-aware features, we only use the simple multilayer perception layer (MLP) network to regress them into the chunk-level quality scores, and then the temporal average pooling strategy is adopted to obtain the video
