Following the success of 2nd ICCV Workshop on Physics Based Vision Meets Deep
Learning (PBDL2019). We propose the 3rd workshop using the same title and topics with ICCV 2021. The
goal is to encourage the interplay between physics based vision and deep learning. Physics based vision
aims to invert the processes to recover the scene properties, such as shape, reflectance, light
distribution, medium properties, etc., from images. In recent years, deep learning shows promising
improvement for various vision tasks. When physics based vision meets deep learning, there must be
mutual benefits.
We welcome submissions of new methods in the classic physics based vision
problems, but preference will be given to novel insights inspired by utilizing deep learning techniques.
Relevant topics include but are not limited to
Deep learning +
• Photometric 3D reconstruction
• Radiometric modeling/calibration of cameras
• Color constancy
• Illumination analysis and estimation
• Reflectance modeling, fitting, and analysis
• Forward/inverse renderings
• Material recognition and classification
• Transparency and multi-layer imaging
• Reflection removal
• Intrinsic image decomposition
• Light field imaging
• Multispectral/hyperspectral capture, modeling and
analysis
• Vision in bad weather (dehaze, derain, etc.)
• Structured light techniques (sensors, BRDF measurement and analysis)
• TOF sensors and its applications
Paper submission is through CMT:
https://cmt3.research.microsoft.com/pbdl2021
The format for paper submission is the same as the ICCV 2021 submission
format. Papers that violates the anonymity, do not use the ICCV submission template or have more
than 8 pages (excluding references) will be rejected without review. The accepted papers will appear in
the proceedings of ICCV 2021 workshops. In submitting a manuscript to this workshop, the authors
acknowledge that no paper substantially similar in content has been submitted to another workshop or
conference during the review period.
