Blind Image Quality Assessment, aiming to replicate human perception of visual quality without reference, plays a key role in vision tasks, yet existing models often fail to effectively capture subtle distortion cues, leading to a misalignment with human subjective judgments. We identify that the ro
Point Cloud Quality Assessment (PCQA) faces a critical disconnect: existing methods operate on a flawed single-perception paradigm, while human observers evaluate quality through dual cognitive streams: technical rationality and semantic sensibility. This fundamental mismatch routinely produces asse
Efficient visual backbone design remains crucial for resource-constrained computer vision applications. Inspired by the adaptive continuous-time dynamics observed in biological neurons, we propose FVNet, a novel lightweight architecture that integrates liquid neural dynamics for efficient and dynami
Recent advances in visuotactile sensors increasingly employ biomimetic curved surfaces to enhance sensorimotor capabilities. Although such curved visuotactile sensors enable more conformal object contact, their perceptual quality is often degraded by non-uniform illumination, which reduces reconstru…
Vision-Language Models (VLMs) have demonstrated significant progress in quality assessment tasks. However, a fundamental paradox arises when their application to Point Cloud Quality Assessment (PCQA). Existing VLMs, designed for image-text pairs, are inherently incompatible with 3D point cloud data
Designing robotic manipulators often requires balancing dexterity, speed, and payload capacity. While traditional serial-link and cable-driven manipulators offer high dexterity, they struggle to concurrently achieve high speed, and often lack the strength and stiffness required for many applications…
Super-resolution (SR) techniques are critical for enhancing image quality, particularly in scenarios where high-resolution imagery is essential yet limited by hardware constraints. Existing diffusion models for SR have relied predominantly on Gaussian models for noise generation, which often fall sh…
In the Blind Image Quality Assessment (BIQA) field, accurately assessing the quality of authentically distorted images presents a substantial challenge due to the diverse distortion types in natural settings. Existing state-of-the-art IQA methods mix a sequence of distortions into entire images to e…
Blind Image Quality Assessment (BIQA) aims to evaluate image quality in line with human perception, without reference benchmarks. Currently, deep learning BIQA methods typically depend on using features from high-level tasks for transfer learning. However, the inherent differences between BIQA and t…
The current state-of-the-art No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) methods typically rely on feature extraction from upstream semantic backbone networks, assuming that all extracted features are relevant. However, we make a key observation that not all features are beneficial, and some may…
Language conditioned 3D object grounding aims to find the object within the 3D scene mentioned by natural language descriptions, which mainly depends on the matching between visual and natural language. Considerable improvement in grounding performance is achieved by improving the multimodal fusion…
Blind Image Quality Assessment (BIQA) mirrors subjective made by human observers. Generally, humans favor comparing relative qualities over predicting absolute qualities directly. However, current BIQA models focus on mining the "local" context, i.e., the relationship between information among indiv…
Blind Image Quality Assessment (BIQA) aims to simulate human assessment of image quality. It has a great demand for labeled data, which is often insufficient in practice. Some researchers employ unsupervised methods to address this issue, which is challenging to emulate the human subjective system.…
Blind Image Quality Assessment (BIQA) is a fundamental task in computer vision, which however remains unresolved due to the complex distortion conditions and diversified image contents. To confront this challenge, we in this paper propose a novel BIQA pipeline based on the Transformer architecture,…
Heterogeneous image fusion (HIF) techniques aim to enhance image quality by merging complementary information from images captured by different sensors. Among these algorithms, deep unfolding network (DUN)-based methods achieve promising performance but still suffer from two issues: they lack a degr…
Interactive devices with touch screen have become commonly used in various aspects of daily life, which raises the demand for high production quality of touch screen glass. While it is desirable to develop effective defect detection technologies to optimize the automatic touch screen production line…
