• Abstract summary: We propose to leverage the invertible network to enhance low-light image in forward process and degrade the normal-light one inversely with unpaired learning. In addition to the adversarial loss, we design various loss functions to ensure the stability of training and preserve more image details. We present a progressive self-guided enhancement process for low-light images and achieve favorable performance against the SOTAs.

• Abstract: Existing unpaired low-light image enhancement approaches prefer to employ the two-way GAN framework, in which two CNN generators are deployed for enhancement and degradation separately. However, such data-driven models ignore the inherent characteristics of transformation between the low and normal light images, leading to unstable training and artifacts. Here, we propose to leverage the invertible network to enhance low-light image in forward process and degrade the normal-light one inversely with unpaired learning. The generated and real images are then fed into discriminators for adversarial learning. In addition to the adversarial loss, we design various loss functions to ensure the stability of training and preserve more image details. Particularly, a reversibility loss is introduced to alleviate the over-exposure problem. Moreover, we present a progressive self-guided enhancement process for low-light images and achieve favorable performance against the SOTAs.

  This work proposes a mean-teacher-based semi-supervised low-light enhancement (Semi-LLIE) framework that integrates the unpaired data into model training. We introduce a semantic-aware contrastive loss to faithfully transfer the illumination distribution, contributing to enhancing images with natural colors. We also propose novel perceptive loss based on the large-scale vision-language Recognize Anything Model (RAM) to help generate enhanced images with richer textual details.

  We investigate the intrinsic degradation and relight the low-light image while refining the details and color in two steps. Inspired by the color image formulation, we first estimate the degradation from low-light inputs to simulate the distortion of environment illumination color, and then refine the content to recover the loss of diffuse illumination color. Our proposed method has surpassed the SOTA by 0.95dB in PSNR on LOL1000 dataset and 3.18% in mAP on ExDark dataset.
