Mobile Intelligent Photography & Imaging
Workshop 2023

MIPI Workshop in conjunction with CVPR 2023
Sunday June 18th, 2023       East 10, Vancouver Convention Center

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 four tracks:

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. 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.

Call for Papers

CVPR 2023 Workshop:

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:

  • Learnable ISPs
  • ToF depth completion
  • RGBW sensor re-mosaic and fusion
  • Nighttime image restoration
  • Under-display camera image restoration
  • Event camera for image/video restoration
  • Learning-based computational imaging systems: efficient algorithms, smart imaging systems, learned data acquisition, task-driven ISPs, etc

Papers will be peer-reviewed and comply with the CVPR 2023 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 CVPR 2023 requirements .

Paper submission and review site: Submission Site


IJCV Special Issue on MIPI:

Selected extended workshop papers will also be invited to contribute to a special issue article in IJCV.

Keynote: Low-Light Image Enhancement for Intelligent Analytics in Smart Cities
  • [Abstract]
  • Low-light enhancement has been a long-standing research problem for decades. The rapid development of deep learning has led to the prosperity of low-light enhancement algorithms. However, it remains unexplored to develop an efficient and concise enhancement paradigm for improving machine vision analysis tasks in smart cities. This work addresses this gap by constructing relevant datasets as well as benchmarks and developing exemplary methods and applications. In detail, at the data end, we construct a dataset for both human and machine visions, evaluate various methods on this dataset, and develop a low-light image enhancement method optimized with downstream face detectors. Then, for the method effort, we propose lightweight methods that adjust illumination distributions to improve the performance of downstream tasks designed for low-light images. These methods do not need to access the labels in low-light conditions and conduct a plug-and-play role to integrate with different downstream tasks, therefore offering high practical values.
