Overview
Welcome to the 2nd Workshop on AI for Content Generation, Quality Enhancement and Streaming at ICCV 2025 (Hawaii) 🌴🌅🌊
After the success of the 1st edition at CVPR 2024... we repeat and improve location!
This workshop focuses on unifying new streaming technologies, computer graphics, and computer vision, from the modern deep learning point of view. Streaming is a huge industry where hundreds of millions of users demand everyday high-quality content on different platforms.
Computer vision and deep learning have emerged as revolutionary forces for rendering content, image and video compression, enhancement, and quality assessment.
From neural codecs for efficient compression to deep learning-based video enhancement and quality assessment, these advanced techniques are setting new standards for streaming quality and efficiency.
Moreover, novel neural representations also pose new challenges and opportunities in rendering streamable content, and allowing to redefine computer graphics pipelines and visual content.

We will host multiple challenges focused on realistic image/video applications
Challenges are in the making, will end middle/end July
The top ranked participants will be awarded and invited to present their solution at the AIGENS workshop at ICCV 2025.
The challenge reports (if applicable) will be published in the ICCV 2025 conference proceedings.
The participants can also submit papers describing their solution to the challenges and/or related problems.
Keynote Speaker
Edward Liu Shiqiu (Edward) Liu is a Director and Distinguished Research Scientist at NVIDIA. His teams spearhead the research of integrating cutting-edge AI with traditional computer graphics, advancing the Pareto curve of rendering quality and performance. This research has been instrumental in the development of renowned products like DLSS. Prior to this, Shiqiu was a core contributor to the advancements of real-time ray tracing in games at NVIDIA.
