Task-Utility IQA：具身任务中的图像质量评估应转向任务效用判断
Task-Utility IQA: Rethinking Image Quality Assessment in Embodied Tasks
AI 导读
研究提出 Task-Utility IQA，主张图像质量评估应从任务无关的分数回归转向由具身任务效用定义的目标条件判断，并给出基于 MLLM 的具身 IQA 智能体框架。在 VisDrone 上的小型证据研究表明，传统感知指标与通用 MLLM 的 IQA 分数难以预测下游 VLM 任务成功，而任务条件化的效用分数预测效果更好。

Abstract:Image quality assessment (IQA) underpins embodied imaging pipelines by judging whether visual quality satisfies downstream tasks, yet most existing methods learn task-agnostic scores aligned with generic human ratings on static benchmarks. This objective mismatches embodied and interactive settings, where image adequacy depends on task goals, context, and action requirements that shape an agent's decisions. We argue that IQA should shift from score regression to goal-conditioned judgment defined by embodied task utility. To this end, we propose an MLLM-based embodied IQA agent framework that reasons about task requirements, grounds quality evidence, and produces decision-facing assessments. A compact VisDrone evidence study shows that conventional perceptual metrics and generic MLLM-based IQA scores are weak proxies for downstream VLM task success, while a task-conditioned utility score better predicts whether visual input supports the target task. These findings support a task-utility-oriented reframing of IQA for embodied, explainable, and decision-aware visual perception.
