• Abstract: Cameras capture sensor RAW images and transform them into pleasant RGB images, suitable for the human eyes, using their integrated Image Signal Processor (ISP). Numerous low-level vision tasks operate in the RAW domain (e.g. image denoising, white balance) due to its linear relationship with the scene irradiance, wide-range of information at 12bits, and sensor designs. Despite this, RAW image datasets are scarce and more expensive to collect than the already large and public RGB datasets. This paper introduces the AIM 2022 Challenge on Reversed Image Signal Processing and RAW Reconstruction. We aim to recover raw sensor images from the corresponding RGBs without metadata and, by doing this, "reverse" the ISP transformation. The proposed methods and benchmark establish the state-of-the-art for this low-level vision inverse problem, and generating realistic raw sensor readings can potentially benefit other tasks such as denoising and super-resolution.

  We design a new realistic degradation pipeline for training deep blind RAW restoration models. Our pipeline considers realistic sensor noise, motion blur, camera shake, and other common degradations. The models trained with our pipeline and data from multiple sensors, can successfully reduce noise and blur, and recover details in RAW images captured from different cameras.

• Self-Supervised Reversed Image Signal Processing via Reference-Guided Dynamic Parameter Selection [1.1602089225841632]
  We propose a self-supervised reversed ISP method that does not require metadata and paired images. The proposed method converts a RGB image into a RAW-like image taken in the same environment with the same sensor as a reference RAW image. We show that the proposed method is able to learn various reversed ISPs with comparable accuracy to other state-of-the-art supervised methods.

• Efficient Visual Computing with Camera RAW Snapshots [41.9863557302409]
  Conventional cameras capture image irradiance on a sensor and convert it to RGB images using an image signal processor (ISP) One can argue that since RAW images contain all the captured information, the conversion of RAW to RGB using an ISP is not necessary for visual computing. We propose a novel $rho$-Vision framework to perform high-level semantic understanding and low-level compression using RAW images.

A RAW-guiding Exposure Enhancement Network (REENet) is developed, which makes trade-offs between the advantages and inaccessibility of RAW images in real applications.
