- Abstract: The captured images under low light conditions often suffer insufficient
brightness and notorious noise. Hence, low-light image enhancement is a key
challenging task in computer vision. A variety of methods have been proposed
for this task, but these methods often failed in an extreme low-light
environment and amplified the underlying noise in the input image. To address
such a difficult problem, this paper presents a novel attention-based neural
network to generate high-quality enhanced low-light images from the raw sensor
data. Specifically, we first employ attention strategy (i.e. channel attention
and spatial attention modules) to suppress undesired chromatic aberration and
noise. The channel attention module guides the network to refine redundant
colour features. The spatial attention module focuses on denoising by taking
advantage of the non-local correlation in the image. Furthermore, we propose a
new pooling layer, called inverted shuffle layer, which adaptively selects
useful information from previous features. Extensive experiments demonstrate
the superiority of the proposed network in terms of suppressing the chromatic
aberration and noise artifacts in enhancement, especially when the low-light
image has severe noise.

We propose to leverage the pre-trained latent diffusion model to perform the neural ISP for enhancing extremely low-light images.
Specifically, to tailor the pre-trained latent diffusion model to operate on the RAW domain, we train a set of lightweight taming modules.
We observe different roles of UNet denoising and decoder reconstruction in the latent diffusion model, which inspires us to decompose the low-light image enhancement task into latent-space low-frequency content generation and decoding-phase high-frequency detail maintenance.

Enhancement [6.531546527140475]
Most existing enhancing algorithms in sRGB space only focus on the low visibility problem or suppress the noise under a hypothetical noise level.
We propose an adaptive unfolding total variation network (UTVNet) to approximate the noise level from the real sRGB low-light image.
Experiments on real-world low-light images clearly demonstrate the superior performance of UTVNet over state-of-the-art methods.
