提出CDI方法,用退化图像一致性评估盲图像修复质量。
CDI: Blind Image Restoration Fidelity Evaluation based on Consistency with Degraded Image
- 通过计算恢复图与退化图的一致性,不依赖参考图或退化参数。
- 支持下采样、模糊、噪声、JPEG等多类退化,且在主观评测中表现更优。
- 适合评估生成式修复模型的保真度,尤其适用于无参考场景。
基于生成对抗网络和扩散模型的盲图像修复(BIR)方法显著提升了视觉质量,但对图像质量评估(IQA)带来挑战,因现有全参考IQA方法常低估高感知质量图像。本文重新审视BIR中的解非唯一性和退化不确定性问题,提出构建专用的BIR-IQA系统。不同于直接对比恢复图与参考图,该系统通过计算恢复图与退化图的一致性(CDI)来评估保真度。提出小波域参考引导的CDI算法,可适应多种退化类型且无需退化参数知识,涵盖下采样、模糊、噪声、JPEG及复合退化等。同时提出无参考CDI,实现无需参考图的评估。为验证合理性,构建新数据集DISDCD用于主观评价。实验表明,CDI显著优于常见全参考IQA方法在BIR保真度评估上的表现。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Recent advancements in Blind Image Restoration (BIR) methods, based on Generative Adversarial Networks and Diffusion Models, have significantly improved visual quality. However, they present significant challenges for Image Quality Assessment (IQA), as the existing Full-Reference IQA methods often rate images with high perceptual quality poorly. In this paper, we reassess the Solution Non-Uniqueness and Degradation Indeterminacy issues of BIR, and propose constructing a specific BIR IQA system. In stead of directly comparing a restored image with a reference image, the BIR IQA evaluates fidelity by calculating the Consistency with Degraded Image (CDI). Specifically, we propose a wavelet domain Reference Guided CDI algorithm, which can acquire the consistency with a degraded image for various types without requiring knowledge of degradation parameters. The supported degradation types include down sampling, blur, noise, JPEG and complex combined degradations etc. In addition, we propose a Reference Agnostic CDI, enabling BIR fidelity evaluation without reference images. Finally, in order to validate the rationality of CDI, we create a new Degraded Images Switch Display Comparison Dataset (DISDCD) for subjective evaluation of BIR fidelity. Experiments conducted on DISDCD verify that CDI is markedly superior to common Full Reference IQA methods for BIR fidelity evaluation. The source code and the DISDCD dataset will be publicly available shortly.
