| contents | No-Reference Image Quality Assessment (NR-IQA) remains a challenging task due to the diversity of distortions and the lack of large annotated datasets. Many studies have attempted to tackle these challenges by developing more accurate NR-IQA models, often employing complex and computationally expensive networks, or by bridging the domain gap between various distortions to enhance performance on test datasets. In our work, we improve the performance of a generic lightweight NR-IQA model by introducing a novel augmentation strategy that boosts its performance by almost 28\%. This augmentation strategy enables the network to better discriminate between different distortions in various parts of the image by zooming in and out. Additionally, the inclusion of test-time augmentation further enhances performance, making our lightweight network's results comparable to the current state-of-the-art models, simply through the use of augmentations. |
