用图结构建模图像块关系,提升超高清图像质量评估精度。
Ultra-High-Definition Image Quality Assessment via Graph Representation Learning

- 将图像块作为节点构建图,融合空间与特征相似性
- 在UHD-IQA数据集上达到PLCC=0.7784、SRCC=0.8019、RMSE=0.0519
- 适合需要高精度绝对质量评分的超高清图像评估场景
针对超高清(UHD)图像盲质量评估难题,现有方法因高分辨率推理成本过高,或通过大幅缩放/裁剪导致尺度敏感失真被抑制,且局部伪影与全局场景关系弱化。本文提出图表示学习框架UHD-GCN-BIQA,通过采样比例一致的图像块作为图节点,构建结合空间邻近与特征相似性的混合k近邻图,利用残差图卷积传播区域间上下文信息,并采用门控注意力池化聚合局部证据生成图像级质量预测。采用指数移动平均归一化的多目标损失函数,稳定回归、相关性和排序目标的联合优化。在UHD-IQA基准测试中,该方法取得PLCC=0.7784、SRCC=0.8019、RMSE=0.0519,相关性表现优异且均方根误差最低,验证了基于图的区域关系建模在高分辨率视觉内容下对绝对质量评分的提升效果。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Blind image quality assessment (BIQA) for ultrahighdefinition (UHD) images remains challenging because native-resolution inference is computationally expensive, whereas aggressive resizing or isolated cropping may suppress scale-sensitive distortions and weaken the relationship between local artifacts and global scene context. This paper aims to improve UHD-BIQA by explicitly modeling the structural dependencies among sampled image regions rather than treating them as independent views, and a graph representation learning framework UHD-GCN-BIQA is proposed. The framework samples aspect-ratio-aligned patches from each UHD image, encodes them as graph nodes, and constructs a hybrid k-nearest-neighbor graph using spatial proximity and feature similarity. Residual graph convolution is used to propagate contextual information across regions, and gated attention pooling aggregates patchlevel evidence into an imagelevel quality prediction. An exponential moving average normalized multiobjective loss function is adopted to stabilize the joint optimization of regression, correlation, and ranking objectives. Experiments on the UHD-IQA benchmark show that UHD-GCN-BIQA achieves PLCC = 0.7784, SRCC = 0.8019, and RMSE = 0.0519, obtaining competitive correlation performance and the lowest RMSE among the compared methods. These results indicate that graph-based region relation modeling is effective for UHD image quality assessment, particularly for improving absolute quality score estimation under high-resolution visual content.
