Call for Challenge Sessions

The IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP), following up on the previous three editions, is organizing the 2022 Challenge Sessions with new and exciting problems that aim at engaging the image and video processing research community, industry, and practitioners.

If you are planning to submit a Grand Challenge proposal, please be aware that it should include:

2. a brief introduction of the challenge (max 250 words)
3. the impact and significance of the challenge in the research and/or industrial community
4. the rules for participation
5. the criteria that will be used to evaluate the submitted models
6. the team that will run the challenge
7. important dates (e.g., submission deadline, data available, and winner announcement)
8. awards proposed, if any
9. sponsorship, if any

Moreover, please be aware that Grand Challenge organizers should provide a dataset that will available for the participating teams. The dataset should include: a training set with ground truth, and a testing set whose ground truth is hidden. Grand Challenge organizers are in charge of evaluating the models submitted by the participants on the testing set.

Grand Challenge organizers will also organize the presentation of the best performing teams in a dedicate Grand Challenge session.
