A Video Quality Assessment (VQA) framework from Xidian University simulates the human visual system's self-repair and gaze mechanisms, integrating free-energy-guided enhancement and dual-branch processing. The EyeSim-VQA model achieves state-of-the-art performance across diverse VQA benchmarks by approximating the human visual experience.

Key insights

  • Explicitly modeling the human eye's free-energy-guided self-repair mechanism and sweeping gaze dynamics can lead to more accurate and perceptually aligned Video Quality Assessment.
  • Adaptive visual enhancement, even with lightweight networks, can effectively refine degraded video content and improve feature discriminability for quality prediction.
  • A dual-branch approach, combining global aesthetic evaluation with fine-grained technical analysis, along with specific mechanisms for gaze (attention) and scanning (sequential exploration), effectively mimics human visual perception.
