Pixel Perfect: Relational Image Quality Assessment with Spatially-Aware Distortions

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2605.02863v1 Announce Type: new Traditional image quality assessment (IQA) methods rely on mean opinion scores (MOS), which are resource-intensive to collect and fail to provide interpretable, localized feedback on specific image distortions. We overcome these limitations by shifting from absolute quality prediction to a relational and directional assessment. Our approach utilizes a self-supervised synthetic distortion engine to generate
