Abstract

Developing and integrating advanced image sensors with novel algorithms in camera systems is prevalent with the increasing demand for computational photography and imaging on mobile platforms. However, the lack of high-quality data for research and the rare opportunity for in-depth exchange of views from industry and academia constrain the development of mobile intelligent photography and imaging (MIPI). To bridge the gap, we introduce the first MIPI challenge including five tracks focusing on novel image sensors and imaging algorithms. In this paper, Quad Joint Remosaic and Denoise, one of the five tracks, working on the interpolation of Quad CFA to Bayer at full-resolution is introduced. The participants were provided with a new dataset including 70 (training) and 15 (validation) scenes of high-quality Quad and Bayer pair. In addition, for each scene, Quad of different noise level were provided at 0 dB, 24 dB and 42 dB. All the data were captured using a Quad sensor in both outdoor and indoor conditions. The final results are evaluated using objective metrics including PSNR, SSIM [6], LPIPS [10] and KLD. A detailed description of all models developed in this challenge is provided in this paper. More details of this challenge and the link to the dataset can be found in https://github.com/mipi-challenge/MIPI2022.
