Bridging the Perceptual Gap: Residual-Enhanced Downscaling and Manifold-Aware Perception Alignment Adaptation for NR-IQA

Leveraging Large Vision-Language Models like CLIP has recently set new benchmarks for No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA). However, the contrastive pretraining of CLIP inherently prioritizes semantic invariance, which often suppresses subtle perceptual signals, a phenomenon we term perceptual submergence. Fu...
