Session Title: Image Processing and Perception in Suboptimal Environments

Keywords: Image Quality Improvement, Cross-Modal Perception, Image Steganography and Steganalysis, Image Perception and Understanding

Information: Against the backdrop of explosive growth in visual data from complex scenarios, image processing and perception in suboptimal conditions are increasingly demonstrating their research significance and application potential. This special session focuses on cutting-edge advancements in this field, covering the following research directions: interactive image processing and perception that develops intelligent human-machine collaborative frameworks to optimize perceptual mechanisms; image enhancement and restoration in suboptimal environments that overcomes extreme imaging limitations (e.g., low light, low resolution, motion blur) through interpretable quality improvement models; image steganography and steganalysis that explores advanced adversarial techniques for information hiding and security detection; and cross-modal visual data processing and cognitive perception that establishes unified vision-language representations for high-level scene understanding. The session aims to advance visual information acquisition and comprehension in complex environments, fostering innovative applications in security, healthcare, and remote sensing. We welcome submissions from computer vision researchers to share their latest findings and jointly address core challenges in this field.

The topics to be covered include, but are not limited to:

• Interactive Image Processing and Perception

• Image Enhancement and Reconstruction under Suboptimal Environments

• Image Steganography and Steganalysis

• Cross-Modal Visual Data Processing and Cognitive Perception

Submission Deadline: July 29, 2025
