传统的视频质量评估(VQA)方法仅生成数值评分,无法全面描述视频的复杂质量维度,限制了其应用。本文通过指令调优,将大型多模态模型(LMMs)应用于VQA,提出了基于评分的指令生成(SIG)管道。SIG首先对未标记视频的多个质量维度进行评分,并将评分映射到文本定义的等级,结合分层的思维链(CoT)模型,模拟人类视觉系统的推理过程。最终生成的Score2Instruct(S2I)数据集包含超过32万个多样的指令-响应对,为指令调优奠定基础。实验结果表明,该方法在多个视频LMMs上显著提升了质量评分和解释能力。

📄 摘要(原文)

Classical video quality assessment (VQA) methods generate a numerical score to judge a video's perceived visual fidelity and clarity. Yet, a score fails to describe the video's complex quality dimensions, restricting its applicability. Benefiting from the linguistic output, adapting video large multimodal models (LMMs) to VQA via instruction tuning has the potential to address this issue. The core of the approach lies in the video quality-centric instruction data. Previous explorations mainly focus on the image domain, and their data generation processes heavily rely on human quality annotations and proprietary systems, limiting data scalability and effectiveness. To address these challenges, we propose the Score-based Instruction Generation (SIG) pipeline. Specifically, SIG first scores multiple quality dimensions of an unlabeled video and maps scores to text-defined levels. It then explicitly incorporates a hierarchical Chain-of-Thought (CoT) to model the correlation between specific dimensions and overall quality, mimicking the human visual system's reasoning process. The automated pipeline eliminates the reliance on expert-written quality descriptions and proprietary systems, ensuring data scalability and generation efficiency. To this end, the resulting Score2Instruct (S2I) dataset contains over 320K diverse instruction-response pairs, laying the basis for instruction tuning. Moreover, to advance video LMMs' quality scoring and justification abilities simultaneously, we devise a progressive tuning strategy to fully unleash the power of S2I. Built upon SIG, we further curate a benchmark termed S2I-Bench with 400 open-ended questions to better evaluate the quality justification capacity of video LMMs. Experimental results on the S2I-Bench and existing benchmarks indicate that our method consistently improves quality scoring and justification capabilities across multiple video LMMs.
