Depth-guided image processing represents a novel and interdisciplinary frontier in the field of image analysis, where the integration of depth information significantly enhances traditional image processing tasks. Integration of depth information, often captured using 3D sensors, stereo cameras, or LiDAR, is at the heart of the latest advancements in multimodal fusion. 

This workshop seeks to raise the interest in the signal processing community in the potential of multimodal models, leveraging depth information. The workshop ties to the PRIN 2022 “LICAM - AI-powered LiDAR fusion for next-generation smartphone cameras” project, where the depth information captured by Lidar sensors onboard modern smartphones has been successfully exploited to enhance deep image compression and image deblurring models.

The workshop features keynotes and invited talks from distinguished researchers in the image processing field on the topic of multimodal models integrating depth information.

The workshop also features a Challenge on "Lidar-guided Image Deblurring". The challenge will ask participating teams to deblur smartphone images, using Lidar depth maps as guidance and achieving the best visual quality.

The LICAM -“AI-powered LIDAR fusion for next-generation smartphone cameras (LICAM)” project is funded by European Union – Next Generation EU within the PRIN 2022 program (D.D. 104 - 02/02/2022 Ministero dell’Università e della Ricerca).
