让图像质量评估模型摆脱特定增强算法的影响,更真实地判断画质。
Preference-Guided Debiasing for No-Reference Enhancement Image Quality Assessment
- 用对比学习构建增强风格偏好空间,让相似增强图像表示更接近。
- 识别并去除质量评估中由增强算法引入的干扰成分,提升泛化能力。
- 适合需要跨算法评估图像质量的研究者和开发者使用。
现有的无参考图像质量评估(NR-IQA)模型在评估增强图像时往往泛化性差,容易过度拟合特定增强算法的独特模式,而非真实感知质量。为此,本文提出一种基于偏好引导的去偏框架用于无参考增强图像质量评估(EIQA)。首先,利用监督对比学习构建连续的增强偏好嵌入空间,使相同增强风格生成的图像在表示上更接近;随后,估计原始质量表示中由增强算法引入的冗余成分,并在质量回归前将其移除,使模型聚焦于算法无关的感知质量线索。为保障训练稳定,采用两阶段策略:先学习增强偏好空间,再进行去偏质量预测。在多个公开的EIQA基准上的实验表明,该方法有效缓解了算法诱导的表示偏差,相比现有方法展现出更强的鲁棒性和跨算法泛化能力。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Current no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA) models for enhanced images often struggle to generalize, as they tend to overfit to the distinct patterns of specific enhancement algorithms rather than evaluating genuine perceptual quality. To address this issue, we propose a preference-guided debiasing framework for no-reference enhancement image quality assessment (EIQA). Specifically, we first learn a continuous enhancement-preference embedding space using supervised contrastive learning, where images generated by similar enhancement styles are encouraged to have closer representations. Based on this, we further estimate the enhancement-induced nuisance component contained in the raw quality representation and remove it before quality regression. In this way, the model is guided to focus on algorithm-invariant perceptual quality cues instead of enhancement-specific visual fingerprints. To facilitate stable optimization, we adopt a two-stage training strategy that first learns the enhancement-preference space and then performs debiased quality prediction. Extensive experiments on public EIQA benchmarks demonstrate that the proposed method effectively mitigates algorithm-induced representation bias and achieves superior robustness and cross-algorithm generalization compared with existing approaches.
