• Abstract: Numerous applications have been developed to assist visually impaired individuals that employ a machine learning unit to process visual input. However, a critical challenge with these applications is the sub-optimal quality of images captured by the users. Given the complexity of operating a camera for visually impaired individuals, we advocate for the use of Apple Live Photos and Android Motion Photos technologies. In this study, we introduce a straightforward methodology to evaluate and contrast the efficacy of Live/Motion Photos against traditional image-based approaches. Our findings reveal that both Live Photos and Motion Photos outperform single-frame images in common visual assisting tasks, specifically in object classification and VideoQA. We validate our results through extensive experiments on the ORBIT dataset, which consists of videos collected by visually impaired individuals. Furthermore, we conduct a series of ablation studies to delve deeper into the impact of deblurring and longer temporal crops.

  We evaluate the impact of Low-Light Image Enhancement (LLIE) methods on high-level vision tasks. Our findings suggest a disconnect between image enhancement for human visual perception and for machine analysis. This insight is crucial for the development of LLIE techniques that align with the needs of both human and machine vision.

  We address the choice of viewpoint during sketch creation in Fine-Grained Sketch-Based Image Retrieval (FG-SBIR) A pilot study highlights the system's struggle when query-sketches differ in viewpoint from target instances. To reconcile this, we advocate for a view-aware system, seamlessly accommodating both view-agnostic and view-specific tasks.

  The images captured by under-display cameras (UDCs) are degraded by the screen in front of them. Deep learning methods for image restoration can significantly reduce the degradation of captured images. We propose a lightweight model for blind UDC Image Restoration and HDR, and we also provide a benchmark comparing the performance and runtime of different methods on smartphones.

We propose a method that uses the user's feedback to label images as either similar or dissimilar to the target image.
