Abstract

En 中文
Recent methods that project images into deep feature spaces to evaluate quality degradation have produced inefficient results due to biased mappings; i.e., these projections are not aligned with the perceptions of humans. In this paper, we develop a hyperdebiasing framework to address such bias in full-reference image quality assessment. First, we perform orthogonal Tucker decomposition on the top of feature tensors extracted by a feature extraction network to project features into a robust content-agnostic space and effectively eliminate the bias caused by subtle image perturbations. Second, we propose a hypernetwork in which the content-aware parameters are produced for reprojecting features in a deep subspace for quality prediction. By leveraging the content diversity of large-scale blind-reference datasets, the perception rule between image content and image quality is established. Third, a quality prediction network is proposed by combining debiased content-aware and content-agnostic features to predict the final image quality score. To demonstrate the efficacy of our proposed method, we conducted numerous experiments on comprehensive databases. The experimental results validate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance in predicting image quality.
