Q-CLIP presents a Vision-Language Model (VLM)-based framework for Video Quality Assessment (VQA) that employs a Shared Cross-Modal Adapter and learnable five-level quality prompts, achieving state-of-the-art performance with only 0.14M trainable parameters. The method improves average SROCC by 1.39% and PLCC by 1.22% on fine-tuning benchmarks, demonstrating superior efficiency and fine-grained quality perception.

Key insights

  • Vision-Language Models can form the core of highly effective VQA systems, offering a comprehensive understanding of quality factors with minimal adaptation.
  • A shared, parameter-efficient cross-modal adapter can effectively align and enhance VLM features across modalities, leading to improved performance with reduced computational overhead.
  • Fine-grained, learnable textual prompts enable VLMs to perceive subtle quality differences, crucial for nuanced VQA.
  • Motion-based frame sampling strategies enhance the cross-dataset generalization capabilities of VQA models by selecting more representative video frames.
