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 , 2018 , 2019 , 2020, 2021 and at ACCV 2016 .

Title: The New Era of Image Denoising

Abstract: Image denoising is one of the oldest and most studied problems in image processing. An extensive work over several decades has led to thousands of papers on this subject, and to many well-performing algorithms for this task. As expected, the era of deep learning has brought yet another revolution to this subfield, and took the lead in today’s ability for noise suppression in images. This talk focuses on recently discovered abilities and opportunities of image denoisers. We expose the possibility of using image denoisers for serving other problems, such as regularizing general inverse problems and serving as the engine for image synthesis. We also unveil the (strange?) idea that denoising and other inverse problems might not have a unique solution, as common algorithms would have you believe. Instead, we describe constructive ways to produce randomized and diverse high perceptual quality results for inverse problems.

Title: Energy Efficient Image Restoration for Augmented Reality

Abstract: AR devices would be one of our gateways in to the Metaverse. They need to capture, augment and replay the real and the virtual world, all in a very energy efficient manner. In this talk we will present the system constraints that these devices face and how to mitigate them by designing Energy Efficient AI based Image and Video Processing. While much of the literature in this area measures progress in efficiency by measuring the number of parameters and macs, in this talk we make a case for energy efficiency as a holistic goal and present model architectural choices to achieve that.

Title: Image Restoration – Puzzles in Performance Evaluation and Problem Formulation

Abstract: Image restoration/enhancement has been an old research topic with continuously renewed interest in the past decades. While a large number of image restoration methods have been developed for a wide variety of applications, somewhat surprisingly, limited thoughts have been put on clearly defining the performance evaluation criterion or accurately formulating the image restoration problem. In this talk, we share some of the puzzles we have for open discussion. Specifically, image restoration algorithms are often evaluated and compared either by some quality metric of the restored images or by certain signal fidelity/distortion measure between the original and restored images, but we argue that neither of them is precisely the desired target for image restoration. While some compromise between the two might be a better option, there is a lack of clean theory or methodology to determine the balancing point. Recently, there has been some interesting discussion on the idea of the “perception-distortion tradeoff”, aiming to find some theoretical compromise between quality (perception) and distortion, but the quality (perception) is defined by the divergence between the distributions of the original and restored images, which makes the problem even more perplexing. We hope this talk can invite some insightful discussions, which may help direct the future development of image restoration.

Title: Anycost and Any-resolution Image Synthesis

Abstract: Generative models, such as GANs, have proliferated and enabled photorealistic image synthesis and editing. However, in some respects, they remain limited. First, due to the computational cost of high-quality generators, it takes seconds to see the results of a single edit, prohibiting interactive user experience. Inspired by modern rendering software, we propose AnycostGAN, a single generator that supports elastic computation. The model can be executed at various cost budgets (up to 10x computation reduction), providing “fast interactive previews” during user interaction. Secondly, scaling models to higher resolutions (beyond 1024) remains challenging. We observe that training pipelines currently operate on fixed-resolution datasets, even though natural images come in a variety of sizes. We argue that every pixel matters and construct datasets at their native resolutions. To take advantage of such data, we introduce continuous-scale training in our method, Any-resolution GANs. We demonstrate generation beyond 2k resolution on a variety of datasets. Together, these works add flexibility in computation and resolution to the generative modeling process -- both at the data curation stage for training efficiency and at execution time for improved user experiences.

Title: Opening Remini AI - Image Restoration in Production

Abstract: Remini is a photo enhancer app, top-selling on Google Play and the Apple store. It uses state-of-the-art image restoration techniques to restore and upsample images jointly. Remini sparks on facial enhancement, being state-of-the-art among other approaches like GPEN and GFPGAN. In this talk, we will discuss the challenges we faced and the solutions taken to improve the restoration quality since its acquisition a year ago. Beyond architectural and design choices, we will emphasize the importance of knowledge distillation - a Swiss-knife tool for the productization of AI-powered features, that improves quality while reducing latency.

Bio: Federico Perazzi is the head of AI at Bending Spoons, one of Europe's fastest-growing tech companies and a leading developer of mobile apps. Before joining Bending Spoons in Milan, Italy, Federico was a research scientist in the On-Device AI team at Facebook Reality Labs, working on image enhancement for Facebook's AI glasses. Prior to Facebook, he was a researcher in Adobe's Creative Intelligence lab, where he co-authored several papers on denoising, generative models, and semantic image understanding. During his doctoral studies, Federico worked in the Imaging and Video Processing team at Disney Research Zurich, where he later remained as a postdoctoral researcher. He earned his Ph.D. in 2017 from ETH university in Zurich, with a dissertation on video object segmentation. Federico's current research endeavors lie at the intersection of computer graphics, computer vision, and machine learning. Highlights of his past research include co-designing the stitching algorithm for the Disney Parks attraction "Soarin' Around the World," enhancing facial details in Adobe Photoshop, and denoising Monte Carlo renderings in Adobe Dimension.

Title: Deep Blind Image Super-Resolution and Denoising for Practical Applications

Abstract: While recent years have witnessed a dramatic upsurge of exploiting deep neural networks toward solving image super-resolution and denoising, existing methods mostly rely on simple degradation assumptions and do not generalize well for practical applications. In this talk, I will present a complex but practical degradation model to synthesize training data for training deep blind image super-resolution and denoising models. I will then demonstrate that the new degradation model can help to significantly improve the practicability of deep blind image super-resolution and denoising models.

Bio: Kai Zhang is currently a postdoctoral researcher at Computer Vision Lab, ETH Zurich, Switzerland, working with Prof. Luc Van Gool and Prof. Radu Timofte. He received his Ph.D. degree from School of Computer Science and Technology, Harbin Institute of Technology, China, in 2019. He was a research assistant from July, 2015 to July, 2017 and from July, 2018 to April, 2019 in Department of Computing of The Hong Kong Polytechnic University. His research interests include deep plug-and-play image restoration, deep unfolding image restoration, and blind image restoration.
