Claims

C1strongest claim

The retrained model demonstrated improved alignment with human ratings compared to the original 4K VMAF. In particular, RMSE decreased from 10.36 to 8.83, and MAD from 8.71 to 6.38, corresponding to improvements of 15% and 27%, respectively.

C2weakest assumption

That the subjective ratings collected in the online study are representative of real teleoperation performance and that the retrained model generalizes beyond the tested Zenseact sequences and compression conditions.

C3one line summary

Retraining VMAF on teleoperation-specific subjective ratings reduces RMSE from 10.36 to 8.83 and MAD from 8.71 to 6.38 compared to the standard model.
