“…Other Applications. Besides the application mentioned above, there are other promising distortion-specific BIQAs designed for emerging computer vision tasks, such as superresolution [109], segmentation [66], dehazing [6], deraining [87], aesthetic [15], encryption [84], light-field [73], underwater [108], 3D geometry [81], etc. Due to the length of the article, we will not discuss other types of distortionspecific BIQAs here.…”

Blind image quality assessment (BIQA) aims at automatically and accurately forecasting objective scores for visual signals, which has been widely used to monitor product and service quality in low-light applications, covering smartphone photography, video surveillance, autonomous driving, etc. Recent developments in this field are dominated by unimodal solutions inconsistent with human subjective rating patterns, where human visual perception is simultaneously reflected by multiple sensory information (e.g., sight and hearing). In this article, we present a unique blind multimodal quality assessment (BMQA) of low-light images from subjective evaluation to objective score. To investigate the multimodal mechanism, we first establish a multimodal low-light image quality (MLIQ) database with authentic low-light distortions, containing image and audio modality pairs. Further, we specially design the key modules of BMQA, considering multimodal quality representation, latent feature alignment and fusion, and hybrid self-supervised and supervised learning. Extensive experiments show that our BMQA yields state-of-the-art accuracy on the proposed MLIQ benchmark database. In particular, we also build an independent single-image modality Dark-4K database, which is used to verify its applicability and generalization performance in mainstream unimodal applications. Qualitative and quantitative results on Dark-4K show that BMQA achieves superior performance to existing BIQA approaches as long as a pre-trained quality semantic description model is provided. The proposed framework and two databases as well as the collected BIQA methods and evaluation metrics are made publicly available.
