• Abstract: RAW images preserve superior fidelity and rich scene information compared to RGB, making them essential for tasks in challenging imaging conditions. To alleviate the high cost of data collection, recent RGB-to-RAW conversion methods aim to synthesize RAW images from RGB. However, they overlook two key challenges: (i) the reconstruction difficulty varies with pixel intensity, and (ii) multi-camera conversion requires camera-specific adaptation. To address these issues, we propose SpiralDiff, a diffusion-based framework tailored for RGB-to-RAW conversion with a signal-dependent noise weighting strategy that adapts reconstruction fidelity across intensity levels. In addition, we introduce CamLoRA, a camera-aware lightweight adaptation module that enables a unified model to adapt to different camera-specific ISP characteristics. Extensive experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate the superiority of SpiralDiff in RGB-to-RAW conversion quality and its downstream benefits in RAW-based object detection. Our code and model are available at https://github.com/Chuancy-TJU/SpiralDiff.

  We introduce the AODRaw dataset, which offers 7,785 high-resolution real RAW images with 135,601 annotated instances spanning 62 categories. We find that sRGB pre-training constrains the potential of RAW object detection due to the domain gap between sRGB and RAW. We distill the knowledge from an off-the-shelf model pre-trained on the sRGB domain to assist RAW pre-training.

  Real-world image super-resolution (Real SR) aims to generate high-fidelity, detail-rich high-resolution (HR) images from low-resolution (LR) counterparts. Existing Real SR methods primarily focus on generating details from the LR RGB domain, often leading to a lack of richness or fidelity in fine details. We pioneer the use of details hidden in RAW data to complement existing RGB-only methods, yielding superior outputs.

  We propose a self-supervised reversed ISP method that does not require metadata and paired images.

We show that the proposed method is able to learn various reversed ISPs with comparable accuracy to other state-of-the-art supervised methods.
