Computer graphics (CG) rendering platforms produce imagery with ever-increasing photo realism. The narrowing domain gap between real and synthetic imagery makes it possible to use CG images as training data for deep learning models targeting high-level computer vision tasks, such as autonomous drivi…
Many flagship smartphone cameras now use a dedicated neural image signal processor (ISP) to render noisy raw sensor images to the final processed output. Training nightmode ISP networks relies on large-scale datasets of image pairs with: (1) a noisy raw image captured with a short exposure and a hig…
Most modern smartphones are now equipped with two rear-facing cameras -- a main camera for standard imaging and an additional camera to provide wide-angle or telephoto zoom capabilities. In this paper, we leverage the availability of these two cameras for the task of illumination estimation using a…
Modeling and synthesizing image noise is an important aspect in many computer vision applications. The long-standing additive white Gaussian and heteroscedastic (signal-dependent) noise models widely used in the literature provide only a coarse approximation of real sensor noise. This paper introduc…
The last decade has seen an astronomical shift from imaging with DSLR and point-and-shoot cameras to imaging with smartphone cameras. Due to the small aperture and sensor size, smartphone images have notably more noise than their DSLR counterparts. While denoising for smartphone images is an activ…
This paper examines the problem of white-balance correction when a scene contains two illuminations. This is a two step process: 1) estimate the two illuminants; and 2) correct the image. Existing methods attempt to estimate a spatially varying illumination map, however, results are error prone a…
