NTIRE 2026 Challenge on Bitstream-Corrupted Video Restoration: Methods and Results

arXiv CS.CV

ArXi:2604.06945v1 Announce Type: new This paper reports on the NTIRE 2026 Challenge on Bitstream-Corrupted Video Restoration (BSCVR). The challenge aims to advance research on recovering visually coherent videos from corrupted bitstreams, whose decoding often produces severe spatial-temporal artifacts and content distortion. Built upon recent progress in bitstream-corrupted video recovery, the challenge provides a common benchmark for evaluating restoration methods under realistic corruption settings.
