Researchers have developed a novel approach to blind omnidirectional image quality assessment (BOIQA) that eliminates the need for viewport generation, simplifying the process and reducing computational load. This new method treats BOIQA as a standard blind image quality assessment (BIQA) problem, allowing it to directly process equirectangular projection formats without transformation. The approach is designed to be unified, applicable to both omnidirectional and 2D planar images, and shows improved generalizability across different datasets and competitions. AI
