Call for papers

Image restoration, enhancement and manipulation are key computer vision tasks, aiming at the restoration of degraded image content, the filling in of missing information, or the needed transformation and/or manipulation to achieve a desired target (with respect to perceptual quality, contents, or performance of apps working on such images). Recent years have witnessed an increased interest from the vision and graphics communities in these fundamental topics of research. Not only has there been a constantly growing flow of related papers, but also substantial progress has been achieved.

Each step forward eases the use of images by people or computers for the fulfillment of further tasks, as image restoration, enhancement and manipulation serves as an important frontend. Not surprisingly then, there is an ever growing range of applications in fields such as surveillance, the automotive industry, electronics, remote sensing, or medical image analysis etc. The emergence and ubiquitous use of mobile and wearable devices offer another fertile ground for additional applications and faster methods.

This workshop aims to provide an overview of the new trends and advances in those areas. Moreover, it will offer an opportunity for academic and industrial attendees to interact and explore collaborations.

This workshop builds upon the success of the previous NTIRE editions: at CVPR 2017 and 2018 and 2019 and at ACCV 2016 . Moreover, it relies on all the people associated with the CLIC 2018, 2019, 2020 , PIRM 2018 , AIM 2019 and NTIRE events such as organizers, PC members, distinguished speakers, authors of published paper, challenge participants and winning teams.

  • Image/video inpainting
  • Image/video deblurring
  • Image/video denoising
  • Image/video upsampling and super-resolution
  • Image/video filtering
  • Image/video de-hazing, de-raining, de-snowing, etc.
  • Demosaicing
  • Image/video compression
  • Removal of artifacts, shadows, glare and reflections, etc.
  • Image/video enhancement: brightening, color adjustment, sharpening, etc.

Invited Talks



Jan Kautz

NVIDIA

Title: Image to Image Translation [slides, video]

Abstract: Recent progress in generative models and particularly generative adversarial networks (GANs) has been remarkable. They have been shown to excel at image-to-image translation problems as well as other things such as image synthesis. I will present a number of our recent methods in this space, which, for instance, can translate images from one domain (e.g., day time) to another domain (e.g., night time) in an unsupervised fashion.

Bio: Jan Kautz is VP of Learning and Perception Research at NVIDIA. Jan and his team pursue fundamental research in the areas of computer vision and deep learning, including visual perception, geometric vision, generative models, and efficient deep learning. His and his team's work has been recognized with various awards and has been regularly featured in the media. Before joining NVIDIA in 2013, Jan was a tenured faculty member at University College London. He holds a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Erlangen-Nürnberg (1999), an MMath from the University of Waterloo (1999), received his PhD from the Max-Planck-Institut für Informatik (2003), and worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2003-2006).

Zibo Meng

OPPO

Title: Looking into the dark: from image to video [slides, video]

Abstract: It is extremely difficult to acquire images with good qualities due to low signal to noise rate. In this talk, an approach for low-light image enhancement is presented. It achieves state-of-the-art performance on a public dataset and has been delivered to OPPO Reno2 and Reno3 series as the “Ultra Dark Mode”. Furthermore, a discussion of applying the developed approach to video enhancement is presented.

Bio: Dr. Zibo Meng is a deep learning scientist from OPPO US R&D center. He is working on developing novel algorithms for image/video enhancement for mobile devices. He received his Ph.D. degree in computer science from University of South Carolina in 2018 under the supervision of Dr. Yan Tong. He has published over 20 papers and serves as a reviewer for more than 20 international conferences and journals.
