• Abstract: Recent innovations shows that blending of details captured by single Low Dynamic Range (LDR) sensor overcomes the limitations of standard digital cameras to capture details from high dynamic range scene. We present a method to produce well-exposed fused image that can be displayed directly on conventional display devices. The ambition is to preserve details in poorly illuminated and brightly illuminated regions. Proposed approach does not require true radiance reconstruction and tone manipulation steps. The aforesaid objective is achieved by taking into account local information measure that select well-exposed regions across input exposures. In addition, Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram equalization (CLAHE) is introduced to improve uniformity of input multi-exposure image prior to fusion.

  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.

  Enhancing low-light images while maintaining natural colors is a challenging problem due to camera processing variations. We propose Dimma, a semi-supervised approach that aligns with any camera by utilizing a small set of image pairs. We achieve that by introducing a convolutional mixture density network that generates distorted colors of the scene based on the illumination differences.

• High Dynamic Range Imaging of Dynamic Scenes with Saturation Compensation but without Explicit Motion Compensation [20.911738532410766]
  High dynamic range (LDR) imaging is a highly challenging task since a large amount of information is lost due to the limitations of camera sensors. For HDR imaging, some methods capture multiple low dynamic range (LDR) images with altering exposures to aggregate more information. Most existing methods focus on motion compensation to reduce the ghosting artifacts, but they still produce unsatisfying results.

  Low-light environments usually lead to less informative large-scale dark areas. We propose to integrate the effectiveness of gamma correction with the strong modelling capacities of deep networks. Because exponential operation introduces high computational complexity, we propose to use Taylor Series to approximate gamma correction.
