NTIRE: New Trends in Image Restoration and Enhancement workshop and challenge on image super-resolution 2017
In conjunction with CVPR 2017

Scope
Image restoration and image enhancement are key computer vision tasks, aiming at the restoration of degraded image content or the filling in of missing information. 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, with image restoration or enhancement serving 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. 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.
Topics
Papers addressing topics related to image restoration and enhancement are invited. The topics include, but are not limited to:
● Image inpainting
● Image deblurring
● Image denoising
● Image upsampling and super-resolution
● Image filtering
● Image dehazing
● Demosaicing
● Image enhancement: brightening, color adjustment, sharpening, etc.
● Image-quality assessment
● Video restoration and enhancement
● Hyperspectral imaging
● Methods robust to changing weather conditions
● Studies and applications of the above.
Submission
A paper submission has to be in English, in pdf format, and at most 8 pages (excluding references) in CVPR style. The paper format must follow the same guidelines as for all CVPR submissions.
http://cvpr2017.thecvf.com/submission/main_conference/author_guidelines
The review process is double blind. Authors do not know the names of the chair/reviewers of their papers. Reviewers do not know the names of the authors.
Dual submission is allowed with CVPR main conference only. If a paper is submitted also to CVPR and accepted, the paper cannot be published both at the CVPR and the workshop.
For the paper submissions, please go to the online submission site.
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/NTIRE2017
Accepted and presented papers will be published after the conference in the CVPR Workshops Proceedings on by IEEE (http://www.ieee.org) and Computer Vision Foundation (www.cv-foundation.org).
The author kit provides a LaTeX2e template for paper submissions. Please refer to the example for detailed formatting instructions. If you use a different document processing system then see the CVPR author instruction page.

Challenge on Example-based Single-Image Super-Resolution
In order to gauge the current state-of-the-art in example-based single-image super-resolution, to compare and to promote different solutions we are organizing an NTIRE challenge in conjunction with the CVPR 2017 conference. We propose a large DIV2K dataset with DIVerse 2K resolution images.
The challenge has 2 tracks:
● Track 1: bicubic uses the bicubic downscaling (Matlab imresize), one of the most common settings from the recent single-image super-resolution literature.
● Track 2: unknown assumes that the explicit forms for the degradation operators are unknown, only the training pairs of low and high images are available.
To learn more about the challenge, to participate in the challenge, and to access the newly collected DIV2K dataset with DIVerse 2K resolution images everybody is invited to register at the links from:
http://www.vision.ee.ethz.ch/ntire17/
The training data is already made available to the registered participants.
Challenge Dates
● Release of train data: February 14, 2017
● Validation server online: February 25, 2017
● Competition ends: March 31, 2017
