BLIND NATURAL IMAGE QUALITY PREDICTION USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS AND WEIGHTED SPATIAL POOLING

By Yicheng Su([email protected]) and Jari Korhonen

Introduction

This repository is the PyTorch implementation of "BLIND NATURAL IMAGE QUALITY PREDICTION USING CONVOLUTIONAL NEURAL NETWORKS AND WEIGHTED SPATIAL POOLING" in ICIP2020.

Illustration of the proposed weighted spatial pooling scheme

There are example images and corresponding weight maps for channels 500, 1000, 1500 and 2000. (a) An example image from KonIQ-10k, and (b) respective weight maps. (c) An example image from Live-itW, and (d)respective weight maps.

Requirements

You will need the following requirements:

  • numpy >= 1.17.4
  • pandas >= 0.25.3
  • python >= 3.7.5
  • pytorch >= 1.4.0
  • torchvision >= 0.5.0
  • tensorboard >= 2.0.0

If you will reimplement in Linux, I highly recommend using the conda command line for installation:

$ conda env create -f requirements.yml

Dataset

The KonIQ-10k dataset has the directory structure as:

/path/to/koniq10k
  ├─1024x768
  │  ├─4042572733.jpg
  │  └─...
  └─koniq10k_scores_and_distributions.csv

And Live-itW has directory structure as following:

/path/to/LiveChallenge
  ├─Data
  │  ├─live_moc.csv
  │  └─...
  ├─Images
  │  ├─1000.JPG
  │  └─...
  └─README.txt

Training

You can easily train the model using the command line:

$ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python main.py /path/to/koniq10k --tensorboard --comment VQANetTraing

VQANetTraing is for checkpoint name and tensorboard folder name.

Evaluation

You can evaluate KonIQ-10k:

$ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python main.py /path/to/koniq10k -e -p -a checkpoint

You can also evaluate Live-itW:

$ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python cross_test.py /path/to/LiveChallenge/ checkpoint

checkpoint is in checkpoints folder and without suffix.

It's worth noting that if you training from scratch, I add a timestep in the front of checkpoint file and tensorboard, so the checkpoint name like 20200101-010101VQANetTraing.

Pre-trained Model

Download pre-trained model to checkpoints:

$ cd /path/to/ICIP2020-WSP-IQA
$ mkdir checkpoints
$ cd checkpoints
$ wget https://github.com/yichengsu/ICIP2020-WSP-IQA/releases/download/v0.1/checkpoint.pth.tar
$ cd ..
$ CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=0 python main.py /path/to/koniq10k -e -p

You can use pre-trained model to get results as follow:

PLCC SRCC RMSE
KonIQ-10k 0.934 0.918 0.196
Live-itW 0.849 0.825 0.720
