5 Computer Vision News vibrant community eager to interact and contribute to ongoing advancements in the field. Regarding what differentiates NTIRE from other workshops in this domain, Radu says it goes more into the details of the core problems in restoration and enhancement. However, there is more cross-pollination than division. “When we look at the research, it boils down to components, and those components are typically shared,” he explains. “It’s a very good thing that we’re sharing the components to reach some new combinations and ideas across fields.” In addition to NTIRE, his team is coorganizing two other workshops at CVPR 2024 in June. AIS: Vision, Graphics, and AI for Streaming will be the first workshop on AI for Streaming at CVPR, taking restoration and enhancement problems into the realm of realtime, optimized algorithms for streaming. Meanwhile, the fourth Mobile AI workshop will address specific restoration and enhancement challenges for mobile devices like smartphones, where algorithm deployment faces particular time and memory constraints in pursuing the best user experience. Radu’s lab’s day-to-day work overlaps with the workshops, focusing on topics typically seen as low-level vision and augmented reality (AR) and tackling the underlying challenges of machine learning and AI that power these algorithms in the background. “We’re handling restoration and enhancement and manipulation of image and video, seeing them in the context of typical streaming scenarios like social media, AR and communications,” he adds. “We’re very interested in placing these kinds of algorithms on mobile devices that are used everywhere.” NTIRE2024
