<span style="margin:0px; font-size:11pt; font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; color:rgb(33,33,33)">Recent years have seen significant advances in image processing and computer vision applications based on Deep Neural Networks (DNNs). Often deep neural networks
for such applications are trained and validated based on the assumption that the images are artefact-free. However, in most real-time embedded system applications the images input to the networks, in addition to any variations of external conditions, have
artefacts introduced by the Image Signal Processing (ISP) pipelines.</span></p>
