PrISM-IQA: Image Quality Assessment Made Practical for Smartphone Photography

- 将图像质量评估转为逐项诊断,按严重程度分级
- 在53个手机影像问题上验证,支持精准定位与干预决策
- 适合图像信号处理器调优工程师使用
现有手机图像质量评估方法常将感知质量简化为单一分数,但这种标量形式与实际图像信号处理器(ISP)调优需求不符。工程师需识别具体质量问题、评估严重性并判断是否需要干预。本文提出一种面向实际应用的结构化模型PrISM-IQA,将手机IQE重构为多问题有序诊断任务。该模型不回归单一质量分数,而是对每个与ISP相关的质量缺陷预测一个有序严重等级:缺失、轻微、严重或关键,涵盖全局图像伪影和局部内容依赖性缺陷。为保证预测逻辑一致,模型结合累积序数编码与结构化推理,捕捉同一问题的单调性及跨问题的包含与排斥关系。我们在重构的SPAQ基准(标注53个ISP相关问题)和小规模专家标注的真实数据集上评估了该模型。实验表明,PrISM-IQA能有效实现问题级诊断,线性探测揭示可迁移的感知质量表征,并证明其预测结果可支持可操作且有意义的ISP调优。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Existing smartphone image quality assessment (IQA) methods commonly reduce perceptual quality to a single score. However, this scalar formulation is poorly aligned with practical image signal processor (ISP) tuning, where engineers must identify specific quality issues, estimate their severities, and determine whether they are acceptable or require intervention. In this work, we introduce a Practical ISP-aware Structured Model for IQA (PrISM-IQA), which reformulates smartphone IQA as a multi-issue ordinal diagnosis problem. Rather than regressing a single quality score, PrISM-IQA predicts an \textit{ordered} severity level -- absent, minor, severe, or critical -- for each ISP-relevant issue, covering both global image-level artifacts and local content-dependent defects. To produce logically consistent predictions, PrISM-IQA combines cumulative ordinal encoding with structured inference that captures within-issue monotonicity as well as cross-issue subsumption and exclusion relations. We evaluate PrISM-IQA on a reconstructed SPAQ benchmark annotated with $53$ ISP-relevant quality issues and on a small-scale expert-annotated real-world dataset. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of PrISM-IQA for practical issue-level diagnosis, reveal transferable perceptual quality representations through linear probing, and further show how its predictions can support actionable and meaningful ISP tuning.
