Blind Image Quality Assessment: A Brief Survey
Miaohui Wang
Blind Image Quality Assessment (BIQA) is essential for automatically
evaluating the perceptual quality of visual signals without access to the
references. In this survey, we provide a comprehensive analysis and discussion
of recent developments in the field of BIQA. We have covered various aspects,
including hand-crafted BIQAs that focus on distortion-specific and
general-purpose methods, as well as deep-learned BIQAs that employ supervised
and unsupervised learning techniques. Additionally, we have explored multimodal
quality assessment methods that consider interactions between visual and audio
modalities, as well as visual and text modalities. Finally, we have offered
insights into representative BIQA databases, including both synthetic and
authentic distortions. We believe this survey provides valuable understandings
into the latest developments and emerging trends for the visual quality
community.
