Image compression has been applied in the fields of image storage and video broadcasting. However, it's formidably tough to distinguish the subtle quality differences between those distorted images generated by different algorithms. In this paper, we propose a new image quality assessment framework to decide which image is better in an image group. To capture the subtle differences, a fine-grained network is adopted to acquire multi-scale features. Subsequently, we design a cross subtract block for separating and gathering the information within positive and negative image pairs. Enabling image comparison in feature space. After that, a progressive feature fusion block is designed, which fuses multi-scale features in a novel progressive way. Hierarchical spatial 2D features can thus be processed gradually. Experimental results show that compared with the current mainstream image quality assessment methods, the proposed network can achieve more accurate image quality assessment and ranks second in the benchmark of CLIC in the image perceptual model track.
With the explosive growth of multi-source data, multi-view clustering has attracted great attention in recent years. Most existing multi-view methods operate in raw feature space and heavily depend on the quality of original feature representation. Moreover, they are often designed for feature data and ignore the rich topology structure information. Accordingly, in this paper, we propose a generic framework to cluster both attribute and graph data with heterogeneous features. It is capable of exploring the interplay between feature and structure. Specifically, we first adopt graph filtering technique to eliminate high-frequency noise to achieve a clustering-friendly smooth representation. To handle the scalability challenge, we develop a novel sampling strategy to improve the quality of anchors. Extensive experiments on attribute and graph benchmarks demonstrate the superiority of our approach with respect to state-of-the-art approaches.
