From Distortion Manifold to Perceptual Quality: a Data Efficient Blind Image Quality Assessment Approach

作者:

Highlights:

• We explore to improve generalize ability of blind IQA models with limited training data

• We propose to explicitly learn a distortion manifold

• A novel model proposed to extract both low level distortion patterns and high level semantic information

• An effective training framework including a masked labeling strategy and a gradual weighting curriculum
