Message

ā€œI’m in the Imaging & Sensing project and my mission is to fully maximize image sensor capabilities combining AI technologies. Sony Semiconductor Solutions is the market leader in CMOS image sensor, and they own powerful sensors and sensing technologies. I believe the fusion of AI, sensor and sensing technologies will revolutionize the imaging systems, which can be beyond human perception.ā€

ReRAW: RGB-to-RAW Image Reconstruction via Stratified Sampling for Efficient Object Detection on the Edge

CVPR, 2025
Radu Berdan, Beril Besbinar, Christoph Reinders, Junji Otsuka*, Daisuke Iso

Edge-based computer vision models running on compact, resource-limited devices benefit greatly from using unprocessed, detail-rich RAW sensor data instead of processed RGB images. Training these models, however, necessitates large labeled RAW datasets, which are costly and o…

Noise Modeling in One Hour: Minimizing Preparation Efforts for Self-supervised Low-Light RAW Image Denoising

CVPR, 2025
Feiran Li, Haiyang Jiang, Daisuke Iso

Noise synthesis is a promising solution for addressing the data shortage problem in data-driven low-light RAW image denoising. However, accurate noise synthesis methods often necessitate labor-intensive calibration and profiling procedures during preparation, preventing them…

UHD-IQA Benchmark Database: Pushing the Boundaries of Blind Photo Quality Assessment

ECCV, 2025
Vlad Hosu, Lorenzo Agnolucci, Oliver Wiedemann, Daisuke Iso, Dietmar Saupe

We introduce a novel Image Quality Assessment (IQA) dataset comprising 6073 UHD-1 (4K) images, annotated at a fixed width of 3840 pixels. Contrary to existing No-Reference (NR) IQA datasets, ours focuses on highly aesthetic photos of high technical quality, filling a gap in …
