CompressedVQA-AEV: Full-Reference and No-Reference Quality Assessment Models for Asymmetric Encoded Videos

This report presents our solutions to the QoMEX 2026 Grand Challenge on Video Quality Assessment for Asymmetric Encoded Videos, comprising a full-reference (FR) model, CompressedVQA-AEV-FR, and a no-reference (NR) model, CompressedVQA-AEV-NR. The FR approach leverages a Swin-B backbone to extract multi-stage similarity statistics between reference and distorted videos for quality prediction. For the NR setting, our model employs complementary frame-level encoders based on SigLIP2 and Swin-B, followed by temporal mean pooling and cross-fold ensembling to estimate perceptual quality without reference data. Our CompressedVQA-AEV-FR achieves first place in the FR track of QoMEX 2026 Grand Challenge, while CompressedVQA-AEV-NR secures fourth place in the NR track, demonstrating the effectiveness of our proposed models.
