Abstract

The rapid advancement of AI generation technologies has led to the widespread use of AI-generated multimedia content, including images, videos, and 3D contents, across various applications. While significant progress has been made in quality evaluation for 2D content, evaluating the quality of 3D content synthesized from single image remains an underexplored problem. To bridge this gap, we introduce the first comprehensive subjective evaluation database tailored for assessing the quality of 3D content generated from single image. Our database, named AIGC-SI23DCQA, includes three distinct categories of input images, i.e., realistic images, AI-generated images, and computer graphic (CG) images, with 100 images in each category. Using five representative single-image-to-3D algorithms, we produce 1,500 3D contents and collect 94,500 annotations across three quality dimensions, including texture fidelity, shape accuracy, and overall quality. Based on the constructed database, we first benchmark and evaluate the performance of existing quality assessment methods revealing their limitations in addressing this novel task. Thus, we further propose a novel objective quality assessment method, termed I3DQA, for effective single-image-to-3D content quality assessment. Specifically, I3DQA first extracts the reference features from the source image, and the multi-modal features from the generated 3D content, including the projected video, patches, and large-multimodal model (LMM) features. These features are integrated through symmetric transformer blocks, enabling effective quality-related feature fusion and score prediction. Extensive experiments demonstrate the superior performance of our method and validate the effectiveness of its components. This work provides a foundational resource and a robust framework for advancing research in this emerging field, and our database and model will be released.
