A strong baseline for image and video quality assessment
share
In this work, we present a simple yet effective unified model for perceptual quality assessment of image and video. In contrast to existing models which usually consist of complex network architecture, or rely on the concatenation of multiple branches of features, our model achieves a comparable performance by applying only one global feature derived from a backbone network (i.e. resnet18 in the presented work). Combined with some training tricks, the proposed model surpasses the current baselines of SOTA models on public and private datasets. Based on the architecture proposed, we release the models well trained for three common real-world scenarios: UGC videos in the wild, PGC videos with compression, Game videos with compression. These three pre-trained models can be directly applied for quality assessment, or be further fine-tuned for more customized usages. All the code, SDK, and the pre-trained weights of the proposed models are publicly available at https://github.com/Tencent/CenseoQoE.
