• Abstract: Learning-based methods have attracted a lot of research attention and led to significant improvements in low-light image enhancement. However, most of them still suffer from two main problems: expensive computational cost in high resolution images and unsatisfactory performance in simultaneous enhancement and denoising. To address these problems, we propose BDCE, a bootstrap diffusion model that exploits the learning of the distribution of the curve parameters instead of the normal-light image itself. Specifically, we adopt the curve estimation method to handle the high-resolution images, where the curve parameters are estimated by our bootstrap diffusion model. In addition, a denoise module is applied in each iteration of curve adjustment to denoise the intermediate enhanced result of each iteration. We evaluate BDCE on commonly used benchmark datasets, and extensive experiments show that it achieves state-of-the-art qualitative and quantitative performance.

  Current methods assume the degradation to be known and provide impressive results in terms of restoration and diversity. In this work, we leverage the efficiency of those models to jointly estimate the restored image and unknown parameters of the kernel model. Our method alternates between approximating the expected log-likelihood of the problem using samples drawn from a diffusion model and a step to estimate unknown model parameters.
