Researchers from Nanjing University and collaborators introduce VADB, a large-scale video aesthetic database with 10,490 professionally and multi-dimensionally annotated videos, alongside VADB-Net, a dual-modal assessment model. VADB-Net achieved superior performance in video aesthetic evaluation, with an SRCC of 0.93 and PLCC of 0.93 for overall scores, surpassing existing video quality assessment models.

Key insights

  • Professional, multi-dimensional annotations (scores, comments, tags) are crucial for building comprehensive video aesthetic assessment datasets that capture both subjective and objective aspects.
  • A CLIP-like dual-modal pre-training framework, leveraging video and rich text descriptions, effectively learns robust and transferable visual representations for complex video aesthetic understanding.
  • Dedicated deep learning models designed for aesthetic judgment, rather than generic quality assessment, can achieve significantly higher performance in predicting nuanced human aesthetic evaluations of video.
