摘要
Image quality assessment (IQA) aims to evaluate the perceptual visual quality of images. Recently, the rapid development of Multi-modal Large Language Models (MLLMs) has significantly advanced the IQA field. By integrating chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning and reinforcement learning (RL), these models can generate more accurate and interpretable results while relying on less training data. However, existing MLLM-based methods are predominantly constrained to holistic, image-level evaluations and lack the capability to produce fine-grained, localized assessments, which substantially limits their practical applicability. To address this limitation, we propose VGIQA, a novel IQA model endowed with both local and global quality assessment capabilities. VGIQA is trained via a two-stage paradigm comprising a cold-start phase followed by reinforcement learning. Driven by carefully designed local quality assessment reward functions, our model exhibits exceptional image quality understanding on VGSR-2K, a new dataset we propose specifically for local quality evaluation, significantly outperforming existing open-source MLLMs such as Qwen2.5-VL-72B-Instruct and Qwen3-VL-32B-Instruct. Furthermore, the local quality evaluation task can effectively enhance the model's performance on the degradation perception task.
