The 4th International Workshop on
Physics Based Vision meets Deep Learning (PBDL)

Following the success of the 1st to 3rd ICCV Workshop on Physics Based Vision Meets DeepLearning (PBDL2017 - 2021). We propose the 4th workshop using the same title and topics with CVPR 2024.The goal is to bring together engineers and researchers from both academia and industry to discuss the current state of the art in the field and future challenges of integrating classic physics based approaches into the modern data-driven deep learning ones.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

Machine learning (or general data driven approach)+

        •     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 Openreview:
https://openreview.net/group?id=thecvf.com/CVPR/2024/Workshop/PBDL

The format for paper submission is the same as the CVPR 2024 submission format. Papers that are not properly anonymized, or do not use the template, or have more than eight pages (excluding references) will be rejected without review. The accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of CVPR 2024 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.

There are two tracks in the PBDL2024:

Scientific Paper Track - double blind peer reviewed and indexed by the CVPR proceeding.
    •     Paper submission: 29 Mar. 2024
    •     Acceptance notification: 7 Apr.2024
    •     Camera ready: 14 Apr.2024

Emerging Research Topics Track - non-anonymous, not reviewed, not indexed by the CVPR proceeding, by invitation or by accessment of the organizers.
    •     Paper submission: 15 Apr. 2024
    •     Acceptance notification: 22 Apr.2024
    •     Camera ready: 29 Apr.2024
