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 are available at the Codalab site of each challenge track. Submissions to all phases will be done through the CodaLab site. Please register to the site and refer to the instructions on how to download the datasets and submit your results. The evaluation metrics of each track will be introduced in the respective site.
