The UG2+ Prize Challenge Workshop

Call for Participation: 
The UG2+ Prize Challenge Workshop (held in conjunction with CVPR 2019)
Long Beach, California
http://www.ug2challenge.org/

What is the current state-of-the-art for image restoration and
enhancement applied to noisy images acquired under less than ideal
circumstances? Can the application of such algorithms as a
pre-processing step improve image interpretability for automatic
visual recognition? Continuing the success of the 1st UG^2 Prize
Challenge workshop held at CVPR 2018, a second edition will be held at
CVPR 2019: the UG2+ Workshop and Prize Challenge. It will inherit the
successful benchmark dataset
(https://arxiv.org/abs/1710.02909),
platform and evaluation tools used by the first UG^2 workshop, but
will also look at new aspects of the overall problem to significantly
augment the scope, including additional datasets and new tasks.

$64,000 will be awarded in prizes to the best performing submissions!
