About this paper

Ina Salaj, Arijit Biswas

Researchers at Dolby Germany GmbH developed Attentive AV-FusionNet, a deep learning model that accurately predicts audio-visual quality by integrating state-of-the-art unimodal features with hybrid attention mechanisms. The model achieved a Pearson correlation of 0.97 and RMSE of 0.22 on an internal dataset, while also providing content-dependent insights into modality importance.

Key insights

  • Leveraging rich internal features from state-of-the-art unimodal predictors (like VMAF and GML) is crucial for accurate audio-visual quality prediction.
  • Hybrid attention mechanisms, specifically bidirectional cross-attention and self-attention, effectively capture complex, content-dependent interactions between audio and video modalities.
  • Content-aware modality relevance can be estimated, providing actionable insights beyond a single quality score for adaptive streaming optimizations.
