New VIGIL system uses LMMs for precise visual distortion detection

Researchers have introduced VIGIL, a new system designed for precise visual distortion detection in user-generated images. Unlike previous methods that rely on text-driven supervised fine-tuning of large multimodal models (LMMs), VIGIL utilizes a novel approach that treats different layers of the LLM decoder as multiple synchronous detectors. This method, applied to the VIGIL-140K training set of over 140,000 images, aims to address the significant generalization gap between synthetic and authentic images, a problem known as the synthetic-to-authentic (S2A) challenge.

    Visual Distortion Detection in UGC Images Using Large Multimodal Models

    arXiv:2608.09122v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The localized depiction of perceptual quality has long been a crucial, yet underexplored, challenge in image quality assessment (IQA). Existing approaches based on large multimodal models (LMMs) predominantly rely on text-driven s…
