Topic Description

What is the current state-of-the-art for image restoration and enhancement applied to degraded images acquired under less than ideal circumstances? Can the application of such algorithms as a pre-processing step improve image interpretability for automatic visual recognition? Continuing the success of the 1st UG2 Prize Challenge workshop held at CVPR 2018, we significantly expand our workshop scope for this year, to provide an integrated forum for researchers to review the recent progress of handling various adverse visual conditions in real-world scenes, in robust, effective and task-oriented ways. Beyond the human vision-driven restorations, we also extend particular attention to the degradation models and the related inverse recovery processes that may benefit successive machine vision tasks. We embrace the most advanced deep learning systems, but are still open to classical physically grounded models, as well as any well-motivated combination of the two streams. The workshop will consist of four invited talks, together with peer-reviewed regular papers (oral and poster), and talks associated with winning prize challenge contributions. Original high-quality contributions are solicited on the following topics:

• Novel algorithms for robust object detection, segmentation or recognition on outdoor mobility platforms, such as UAVs, gliders, autonomous cars, outdoor robots, etc.
• Novel algorithms for robust visual understanding in the presence of one or more real-world adverse conditions, such as haze, rain, snow, hail, dust, underwater, low-illumination, low resolution, etc.
• Novel algorithms for dehazing, deraining, light enhancement, or enhancing other real-world adverse conditions
• The potential models and theories for explaining, quantifying, and optimizing the mutual influence between the low-level computational photography (image reconstruction, restoration, or enhancement) tasks and various high-level computer vision tasks.
• Novel physically grounded and/or explanatory models, for the underlying degradation and recovery processes, of real-world images going through complicated adverse visual conditions.
• Novel evaluation methods and metrics for image restoration and enhancement algorithms, with a particular emphasis on no-reference metrics, since for most real outdoor images with adverse visual conditions it is hard to obtain any clean “ground truth” to compare with.

Submission Instructions

All submitted work will be assessed based on their relevance to workshop theme, novelty, technical quality, clarity, and reproducibility. For each accepted submission, at least one author must attend the workshop and present the paper. All submissions will follow standard CVPR format requirements, and will be double-blind peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be presented at the poster session, with selected papers also being presented in an oral session. All accepted papers will be published by the CVPR in the workshop proceedings.

Best Paper Awards

Best paper awards (a total of $1,000) will be given to the highest-quality original submission(s).
