NTIRE 2022 Challenge on Night Photography Rendering
P. 1287–1300.
Ershov E.
This paper reviews the NTIRE 2022 challenge on night photography rendering. The challenge solicited solutions that processed RAW camera images captured in night scenes to produce a photo-finished output image encoded in the standard RGB (sRGB) space. Given the subjective nature of this task, the proposed solutions were evaluated based on the mean opinions of viewers asked to judge the visual appearance of the results. Michael Freeman, a world-renowned photographer, further ranked the solutions with the highest mean opinion scores. A total of 13 teams competed in the final phase of the challenge. The proposed methods provided by the participating teams represent state-of-the-art performance in nighttime photography. Results from the various teams can be found here: https://nightimaging.org/

Improving image quality is becoming an increasingly popular task, especially when working with mobile devices. One common approach to image enhancement is the use of convolutional neural networks. However, to achieve good results, such networks must be large enough, otherwise there is a risk of unwanted artifacts. In addition, large convolutional neural networks require significant ...

Oil spill segmentation in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images is limited by noisy annotations in publicly available datasets and by architectural choices that interact with label quality in opposing directions. First, we introduce a manually refined version of the Deep-SAR Oil Spill (SOS) dataset, in which 36.25% of masks are corrected for false positives, missed ...

In his essay "On Photography," the prominent German media theorist Vilém Flusser (1920-1991) asks whether human freedom is possible in the information society, in a world dominated by cameras, where our thoughts, feelings, desires, and actions are robotized. The photographer's intentions are inscribed within the strictly limited corridor of the camera's program—a black box simulating ...
