This paper reviews the NTIRE 2023 challenge on efficient single-image super-resolution with a focus proposed solutions and results. The aim of this is to devise network that reduces one or several aspects such as runtime, parameters, FLOPs, activations, memory footprint, depth RFDN while at least maintaining PSNR 29.00dB DIV2K validation datasets. had 272 registered participants, 35 teams made valid submissions. They gauge state-of-the-art for super-resolution.
This paper reviews the NTIRE 2023 challenge on image super-resolution (×4), focusing proposed solutions and results. The task of (SR) is to generate a high-resolution (HR) output from corresponding low-resolution (LR) input by leveraging prior information paired LR-HR images. aim obtain network design/solution capable produce high-quality results with best performance (e.g., PSNR). We want explore how high we can achieve regardless computational cost model size FLOPs) data. track was measure...
This work reviews the results of NTIRE 2023 Challenge on Image Shadow Removal. The described set solutions were proposed for a novel dataset, which captures wide range object-light interactions. It consists 1200 roughly pixel aligned pairs real shadow free and affected images, captured in controlled environment. data was white-box setup, using professional equipment lights acquisition sensors. challenge had number 144 participants registered, out 19 teams compared final ranking. extend...
This report introduces two high-quality datasets Flickr360 and ODV360 for omnidirectional image video super-resolution, respectively, reports the NTIRE 2023 challenge on 360° super-resolution. Unlike ordinary 2D images/videos with a narrow field of view, can represent whole scene from all directions in one shot. There exists large gap between image/video both degradation restoration processes. The is held to facilitate development super-resolution by considering their special...
This paper introduces a novel benchmark for efficient up-scaling as part of the NTIRE 2023 Real-Time Image Super-Resolution (RTSR) Challenge, which aimed to upscale images from 720p and 1080p resolution native 4K (×2 ×3 factors) in real-time on commercial GPUs. For this, we use new test set containing diverse ranging digital art gaming photography. We assessed methods devised SR by measuring their runtime, parameters, FLOPs, while ensuring minimum PSNR fidelity over Bicubic interpolation....
This paper presents a review of the NTIRE 2023 challenge on night photography rendering.The goal was to find solutions that process raw camera images taken in nighttime conditions conditions, and thereby produce photo-quality output standard RGB (sRGB) space.Unlike previous year's competition, participants were not provided with large training dataset for target sensor.Instead, this time they given color checker illuminated by known light source.To evaluate results, sufficient number viewers...

In the production process from green beans to coffee bean packages, defective removal (or in short, defect removal) is one of most labor-consuming stages, and many companies investigate automation this stage for minimizing human efforts. paper, we propose a deep-learning-based inspection scheme (DL-DBIS), together with GAN (generative-adversarial network)-structured automated labeled data augmentation method (GALDAM) enhancing proposed scheme, so that degree robotic arms can be further...
Virtual try-on tasks aim at synthesizing realistic results by trying target clothes on humans. Most previous works relied the Thin Plate Spline or appearance flows to warp fit human body shapes. However, both approaches cannot handle complex warping, leading over distortion misalignment. Furthermore, there is a critical unaddressed challenge of adjusting clothing sizes for try-on. To tackle these issues, we propose Clothing-Oriented Transformation Try-On Network (COTTON). COTTON leverages...
Computer numerical control (CNC) tool-wear prediction (TWPred) is an important issue in the industry. Recently, researchers have demonstrated that deep-learning models (DLMs) are effective TWPred. However, DLMs ill-suited to small- and medium-scale manufacturers due high computational costs. Methods exist reduce costs of DLMs, but most them depend on overly-complex pruning processes not appropriate for low-end computers used by above manufacturers. Therefore, we developed a lightweight DLM...
For its simple structure, high density, and good scalability, the resistive random access memory (RRAM) has emerged as one of promising candidates for large data storage in computing systems. Moreover, building up RRAM a 3-D stacking structure further boosts advantage array density. Conventionally, multiple bipolar layers are piled vertically separated with isolation material to prevent signal interference between adjacent layers. The process increases fabrication cost brings potential...
Airborne particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) can have a profound effect on the health of population. Many researchers been reporting highly accurate numerical predictions based raw PM2.5 data imported directly into deep learning models; however, there is still considerable room for improvement in terms implementation costs due to heavy computational overhead. From perspective environmental science, values given location be attributed local sources as well external sources. Local tend dramatic...
