提出新评估框架,让图像超分结果更符合人眼感知。

Bridging the Perception Gap in Image Super-Resolution Evaluation

  • 设计相对质量指数RQI,比较图像对的优劣而非绝对评分。
  • 发现现有指标与人类偏好相关性弱,部分甚至负相关。
  • 适用于超分模型训练指导,提升细节真实感与结构保真度。

随着超分辨率技术的发展,研究界对评价指标的信任度下降。现有评估标准与人类视觉偏好常不一致。我们系统分析了广泛使用的图像质量评估指标,发现其与人类感知一致性有限,甚至存在负相关。进一步揭示了全参考(FR)与无参考(NR)评估框架中的内在挑战。为此,提出简单的相对质量指数(RQI)框架,通过对比图像对的质量差异进行评估。该框架可轻松集成至现有指标中,显著提升超分评价效果,并能作为训练指导,帮助生成更具真实感细节且保持结构一致性的图像。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

As super-resolution (SR) techniques advance, we observe a growing distrust of evaluation metrics in recent SR research. An inconsistency often emerges between certain evaluation criteria and human perceptual preference. Although current SR research employs varying metrics to evaluate SR performance, it remains underexplored how robust and reliable these metrics actually are. To bridge this gap, we conduct a comprehensive analysis of widely used image quality metrics, examining their consistency with human perception when evaluating state-of-the-art SR models. We show that some metrics exhibit only limited-or even negative-correlation with human preferences. We further identify several intrinsic challenges in SR evaluation that compromise the effectiveness of both full-reference (FR) and no-reference (NR) image quality assessment (IQA) frameworks. To address these issues, we propose a simple yet effective Relative Quality Index (RQI) framework, which assesses the relative quality discrepancy between image pairs. Our framework enables easy integration and notable improvements for existing IQA metrics in SR evaluation. Moreover, it can be utilized as a valuable training guide for SR models, enabling the generation of images with more realistic details while maintaining structural fidelity.
