Introduction
Welcome to A Tour Through AI-powered Photography and Imaging tutorial at ICCV 2025, 19th October!
Computational Photography and Low-level Computer Vision are pivotal research areas, with significant impact on both academia and industry. This tutorial bridges the gap between academic research and industry applications by providing an in-depth, hands-on exploration of computational photography and imaging using deep learning.
We will cover Neural Image Signal Processors (ISPs), neural networks for image restoration and enhancement, quality metrics, and synthetic data generation pipelines.
Attendees will acquire state-of-the-art knowledge in datasets, simulations, model development, and evaluation, empowering them with the tools and insights needed to accelerate innovation in this field.
Tutorial Schedule & Parts

Part 1: Data collection and Synthetic data generation
How can we collect RAW and RGB images for training deep neural networks? We will discuss the best practices for data collection, filtering and pre-processing. How can we leverage real data to generate synthetic data?

Part 2: Neural ISP Architectures
Neural Image Signal Processors (ISPs) are often notably more complex than industry ISPs, moreover, the neural networks do not allow explicit mechanisms of quality or color control. We will discuss possible solutions to design fast and controllable pipelines using deep learning.
