  • 通过众包标注构建伪影显著性数据集,衡量用户对缺陷的察觉比例。
  • 发现48.2%的原标注伪影未被多数人察觉,传统指标如SSIM仍具较强预测力。
  • 适合关注图像质量感知、评测指标泛化能力的研究者使用。

现代图像超分辨率方法生成细节丰富、视觉吸引的结果,但常引入视觉伪影:不自然的图案和纹理失真,降低感知质量。这些缺陷在感知影响上差异巨大——有些几乎不可见,有些却极为扰人,而现有检测方法将其一视同仁。本文提出“伪影显著性”作为评估目标,定义为观众认为某突出区域存在明显伪影的比例。设计众包标注协议,构建SR-Prominence数据集套件,包含来自DeSRA、Open Images、Urban100及无真实标签的Urban100-HR场景的3,935个伪影掩码,并标注显著性。重新标注DeSRA发现,48.2%的实验室标注伪影未被多数观众察觉。在该套件上评估了超分辨率伪影检测器、图像质量指标及超分辨率方法。结果表明,经典全参考指标(尤其是SSIM和DISTS)表现出意外强的局部显著性预测能力,而无参考质量评估方法与专用伪影检测器在不同数据集和参考设置间泛化能力差。SR-Prominence随客观评分协议发布,支持新指标在无需再次众包的情况下进行基准测试。整体推动超分辨率伪影评估从二元缺陷存在转向感知影响分析。数据集可于https://huggingface.co/datasets/imolodetskikh/sr-artifact-prominence 获取。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Modern image super-resolution methods generate detailed, visually appealing results, but they often introduce visual artifacts: unnatural patterns and texture distortions that degrade perceived quality. These defects vary widely in perceptual impact--some are barely noticeable, while others are highly disturbing--yet existing detection methods treat them equally. We propose artifact prominence as an evaluative target, defined as the fraction of viewers who judge a highlighted region to contain a noticeable artifact. We design a crowdsourced annotation protocol and construct SR-Prominence, a dataset suite containing 3,935 artifact masks from DeSRA, Open Images, Urban100, and a realistic no-ground-truth Urban100-HR setting, annotated with prominence. Re-annotating DeSRA reveals that 48.2% of its in-lab binary artifacts are not noticed by a majority of viewers. Across the suite, we audit SR artifact detectors, image-quality metrics, and SR methods. We find that classical full-reference metrics, especially SSIM and DISTS, provide surprisingly strong localized prominence signals, whereas no-reference IQA methods and specialized artifact detectors often fail to generalize across datasets and reference settings. SR-Prominence is released with an objective scoring protocol that allows new metrics to be benchmarked on our suite without further crowdsourcing. Together, the data and protocols enable SR artifact evaluation to move from binary defect presence toward perceptual impact. SR-Prominence is available at https://huggingface.co/datasets/imolodetskikh/sr-artifact-prominence.
