Can No-Reference Quality-Assessment Methods Serve as Perceptual Losses for Super-Resolution?
Perceptual losses play an important role in constructing deep-neural-network-based methods by increasing the naturalness and realism of processed images and videos. Use of perceptual losses is often limited to LPIPS, a fullreference method. Even though deep no-reference image-qualityassessment methods are excellent at predicting human judgment, little research has examined their incorporation in loss functions. This paper investigates direct optimization of several video-superresolution models using no-reference image-quality-assessment methods as perceptual losses. Our experimental results show that straightforward optimization of these methods produce artifacts, but a special training procedure can mitigate them.

In recent years, digital humans have been widely applied in augmented/virtual reality (A/VR), where viewers are allowed to freely observe and interact with the volumetric content. However, the digital humans may be degra…
Deep Perceptual Image Quality Assessment for Compression
Lossy Image compression is necessary for efficient storage and transfer of data. Typically the trade-off between bit-rate and quality determines the optimal compression level. This makes the image quality metric an integ…
