多模态大语言模型在图像质量评估(IQA)中展现出潜力,能提升评分与推理的一致性。然而,现有方法主要依赖人工评分进行推理监督,很少检验推理是否真实反映图像质量。仅关注评分准确率无法保证推理可信;共享奖励机制会掩盖监督来源,可能因偶然正确而强化错误推理。为提升盲源图像质量评估的可信度,本文提出两个目标:(1) 分离推理与评分的信用分配,(2) 提供可验证的推理监督。我们构建了MR-IQA-2——一种演员-编辑者-裁判框架,实现推理-编辑-反思的闭环。演员生成图像质量推理,编辑者根据识别出的质量因素修改图像,冻结的裁判比较原始与编辑图像,提供反馈以监督演员推理。通过细粒度的信用分配,裁判反馈专用于推理监督,人类评分则用于预测评分监督。掩码标记级更新确保两类信号分离,同时保持从推理到评分的因果关系。在多个IQA基准测试中,MR-IQA-2实现了与人类评分相当的对齐效果。视觉反思还带来了更丰富、更真实的视觉理解,有助于图像质量优化及下游任务。代码已开源。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Multimodal large language models (MLLMs) have shown strong potential for image quality assessment (IQA) by improving consistency between quality ratings and their underlying reasoning. However, most approaches supervise reasoning through human-provided ratings and rarely examine whether it faithfully reflects image quality. Rating accuracy alone does not ensure faithful reasoning; a shared reward also obscures supervision sources and may reinforce unfaithful reasoning when a correct rating occurs by chance. To improve the faithfulness and reliability of blind IQA, we aim to (1) decouple credit assignment for reasoning and rating and (2) provide verifiable supervision for faithful reasoning. We introduce MR-IQA-2, an actor-editor-judge framework that operationalizes reasoning-editing-reflection. The actor generates quality reasoning for an input image, and the editor revises the image according to the identified quality factors. A frozen judge compares the original and edited images and provides reflective supervision for the actor's reasoning. MR-IQA-2 further uses fine-grained credit assignment to decouple reasoning and rating supervision. Judge feedback supervises reasoning, whereas human ratings supervise the predicted rating. Masked token-specific updates distinguish these signals while preserving the causal relation from reasoning to rating. Across IQA benchmarks, MR-IQA-2 achieves competitive rating alignment with humans. Visual reflection also enables richer and more faithful visual understanding beyond rating, which may inform image-quality optimization and related downstream tasks.
