Omnidirectional image quality assessment with local–global vision transformers
Published in Image and Vision Computing, 2024

The paper addresses the challenge of quality assessment for 360-degree images by introducing LGT360IQ, a dual-branch framework that effectively combines local and global information for improved accuracy. Their extensive evaluation on multiple datasets highlights the framework's superior performance compared to traditional methods.
ST360IQ: No-Reference Omnidirectional Image Quality Assessment with Spherical Vision Transformers
Published in ICASSP, 2023

Our study introduces ST360IQ, a no-reference quality assessment method that extracts and evaluates tangent viewports from key areas of the image using vision-transformer-based modules. This approach aggregates scores to produce a final quality assessment. Tested on OIQA and CVIQ datasets, ST360IQ shows improved correlation with human-perceived image quality compared to current methods.
