ICIP 2024 1^st Workshop on Integrating Image Processing with Large-Scale Language/Vision Models for Advanced Visual Understanding

ü  The 31st International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP 2024)

ü  27-30 October 2024, Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

l  Abstract:

This workshop aims to bridge the gap between conventional image processing techniques and the latest advancements in large-scale models (LLM and LVLM). In recent years, the integration of large-scale models into image processing tasks has shown significant promise in improving visual object understanding and image classification. This workshop will provide a platform for researchers and practitioners to explore the synergies between conventional image processing methods and cutting-edge large language model and large vision language models, fostering innovation and collaboration in the field.

This workshop is designed for researchers, academics, and industry professionals working in the fields of image processing, computer vision, multimedia processing and natural language processing. Participants should have a basic understanding of image processing concepts and an interest in exploring innovative approaches for visual understanding.
