Challenge Tracks
Overview
Developing and integrating advanced image sensors with novel algorithms in camera systems is prevalent with the increasing demand for computational photography and imaging on mobile platforms. However, the lack of high-quality data for research and the rare opportunity for in-depth exchange of views from industry and academia constrain the development of mobile intelligent photography and imaging (MIPI).
The workshop's main focus is on MIPI, emphasizing the integration of novel image sensors and imaging algorithms. Together with the workshop, we organize a few exciting challenges and invite renowned researchers from both industry and academia to share their insights and recent work. Our challenge includes five tracks:
- RGB+ToF Depth Completion uses sparse, noisy ToF depth measurements with RGB images to obtain a complete depth map.
- Quad-Bayer Re-mosaic converts Quad-Bayer RAW data into Bayer format so that it can be processed with standard ISPs.
- RGBW Sensor Re-mosaic converts RGBW RAW data into Bayer format so that it can be processed with standard ISPs.
- RGBW Sensor Fusion fuses Bayer data and a monochrome channel data into Bayer format to increase SNR and spatial resolution.
- Under-display Camera Image Restoration improves the visual quality of image captured by a new imaging system equipped under-display camera.
Unlike previous workshops that focus on image or video manipulation, restoration and enhancement, or the efficient designs of AI models for mobile devices, the central theme of our workshop encompasses new sensors and imaging systems, which are the indispensable foundation for mobile intelligent photography and imaging. As the first workshop of this kind, MIPI aims to organize a dedicated workshop so that we can solicit relevant solutions and attract a focused group from both academia and industry for fruitful discussions.
Datasets and Submission
Datasets are available at the Codalab site of each challenge track. Submissions to all phases will be done through the CodaLab site.

Call for Papers
Coupled with the workshop, besides the challenge, we also provide a fertile ground for researchers, scientists, and engineers from around the world to disseminate their research outcomes and push forward the frontiers of knowledge within novel image sensors and imaging systems-related areas. The MIPI workshop topics cover but are not limited to:
- ToF depth completion
- Quad-Bayer/RGBW sensor re-mosaic and fusion
- Under-display camera image restoration
- Event camera for image/video restoration
- Learnable ISPs
- Learning-based computational imaging systems: smart imaging and sensing systems, learned data acquisition, task-driven ISPs, etc
- Computationally efficient computational imaging systems and algorithms
Papers will be peer-reviewed and comply with the ECCV 2022 proceedings style, format and length. The deadline for camera ready submission is the same as the main conference. Papers accepted must be registered and presented to ensure their inclusion in the IEEE Xplore Library. Selected papers will be invited to present in the workshop. Some papers will also be invited to contribute to a book chapter or a special issue article in our future publication. The format for submission is the same as the ECCV 2022 requirements .
