Rarity-Aware Discrete Diffusion with Spatially Consistent Decoding for Photo-Realistic Image Super-Resolution

Ao Li, Yapeng Du, Yi Xin, Lei Zhu, Le Zhang, Guangtao Zhai, et al.

Continuous diffusion models have become the dominant paradigm for photo-realistic image Super-Resolution (SR), but they typically formulate reconstruction as continuous signal-level denoising and incorporate semantic priors through external conditioning modules. This makes it les…

Multi-Dimensional Quality Assessment for AI-Generated Human-Centric Videos: Dataset and Model

Sijing Wu, Yunhao Li, Huiyu Duan, Yucheng Zhu, Xiongkuo Min, Patrick Le Callet, et al.

AI-generated human-centric videos play a crucial role in a wide range of modern applications. However, they often suffer from quality issues and semantic mismatches, underscoring the importance of effective quality assessment for such videos. To this end, we extend our previous d…

From Open Loop to Closed Loop: A Test-Time Iterative Optimization Framework for Reference-Consistent Image Generation

Baixuan Zhao, Xinyu Zhang, Huayu Zheng, Shuaicheng Liu, Xiongkuo Min, Guangtao Zhai, et al.

While controllable image generation has made significant strides by incorporating visual reference conditions, existing methods predominantly operate as open-loop systems. They inject control signals in a strictly feed-forward manner, failing to guarantee strict fidelity to the r…

CompressedVQA-AEV: Full-Reference and No-Reference Quality Assessment Models for Asymmetric Encoded Videos

Wei Sun, Xingwei Liu, Dandan Zhu, Xiangyang Zhu, Weixia Zhang, Guangtao Zhai

This report presents our solutions to the QoMEX 2026 Grand Challenge on Video Quality Assessment for Asymmetric Encoded Videos, comprising a full-reference (FR) model, CompressedVQA-AEV-FR, and a no-reference (NR) model, CompressedVQA-AEV-NR. The FR approach leverages a Swin-B ba…

DroneIQA-VLE: Multi-Task Drone Image Quality Assessment via Vision-Language Ensemble

Wei Sun, Weixia Zhang, Hongjian Zhan, Mingkai Lu, Yixuan Gao, Guangtao Zhai

We present DroneIQA-VLE, our solution to the ICME 2026 Drone-IQA Grand Challenge on Target-aware Image Quality Assessment for Low-altitude UAV Images. The framework jointly predicts global, target, and background quality scores by ensembling two complementary pipelines: (1) SigLI…

Beyond Single Character: Evaluating MLLMs for Sentence-Level Oracle Bone Inscription Understanding

Ziqi Li, Zijian Chen, Tingzhu Chen, Guangtao Zhai

Existing AI-assisted oracle bone inscription (OBI) visual recognition and understanding studies mainly focus on character-level, ignoring the long-form textual coherence and contextual dependencies embedded in complete divination charges. Recently, the powerful visual perception…

LEIQ-Assessor: Multi-dimensional Quality Assessment of Low-light Enhanced Images via Multi-task Learning

Wei Sun, Yanwei Jiang, Dandan Zhu, Jinqiu Sang, Jikai Xu, Weixia Zhang, et al.

Low-light image enhancement algorithms (LIEAs) aim to improve the visibility of images captured under poor illumination. However, the enhancement process often introduces artifacts such as noise amplification, color shift, structural damage, and over-exposure, which degrade the p…
