• Abstract summary: We propose a single-stage network empowered by Feature Domain Adaptation (FDA) to decouple the denoising and color mapping tasks in raw LLIE. FDA can explore the global and local correlations with fewer line buffers. Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance with fewer computing costs.

• Abstract: Raw low light image enhancement (LLIE) has achieved much better performance than the sRGB domain enhancement methods due to the merits of raw data. However, the ambiguity between noisy to clean and raw to sRGB mappings may mislead the single-stage enhancement networks. The two-stage networks avoid ambiguity by decoupling the two mappings but usually have large computing complexity. To solve this problem, we propose a single-stage network empowered by Feature Domain Adaptation (FDA) to decouple the denoising and color mapping tasks in raw LLIE. The denoising encoder is supervised by the clean raw image, and then the denoised features are adapted for the color mapping task by an FDA module. We propose a Lineformer to serve as the FDA, which can well explore the global and local correlations with fewer line buffers (friendly to the line-based imaging process). During inference, the raw supervision branch is removed. In this way, our network combines the advantage of a two-stage enhancement process with the efficiency of single-stage inference. Experiments on four benchmark datasets demonstrate that our method achieves state-of-the-art performance with fewer computing costs (60% FLOPs of the two-stage method DNF). Our codes will be released after the acceptance of this work.

  Low-light image enhancement, particularly in cross-domain tasks such as mapping from the raw domain to the sRGB domain, remains a significant challenge. We present a novel Mamba scanning mechanism, called RAWMamba, to effectively handle raw images with different CFAs. We also present a Retinex Decomposition Module (RDM) grounded in Retinex prior, which decouples illumination from reflectance to facilitate more effective denoising and automatic non-linear exposure correction.

  In multimedia understanding tasks, corrupted samples pose a critical challenge, because when fed to machine learning models they lead to performance degradation. We propose SyMPIE to enhance input data for robust downstream multimedia understanding with minimal computational cost. Our key insight is that most input corruptions can be modeled through global operations on color channels of images or spatial filters with small kernels.

  Low-Light Image Enhancement (LLIE) task tends to restore the details and visual information from corrupted low-light images. We propose a novel trainable color space, named Horizontal/Vertical-Intensity (HVI) It not only decouples brightness and color from RGB channels to mitigate the instability during enhancement but also adapts to low-light images in different illumination ranges due to the trainable parameters.

  Linear Array Pushbroom (LAP) imaging technology is widely used in the realm of remote sensing. Traditional methods for restoring LAP images, such as algorithms estimating the point spread function (PSF), exhibit limited performance. We propose a Jitter-Aware Restoration Network (JARNet) to remove the distortion and blur in two stages.

  Diffusion model (DM) has achieved SOTA performance by modeling the image synthesis process into a sequential application of a denoising network. Traditional DMs running massive iterations on a large model to estimate whole images or feature maps is inefficient for image restoration. We propose DiffIR, which consists of a compact IR prior extraction network (CPEN), dynamic IR transformer (DIRformer), and denoising network.

• Bi-directional Cross-Modality Feature Propagation with Separation-and-Aggregation Gate for RGB-D Semantic Segmentation [59.94819184452694]
  Depth information has proven to be a useful cue in the semantic segmentation of RGBD images for providing a geometric counterpart to the RGB representation. Most existing works simply assume that depth measurements are accurate and well-aligned with the RGB pixels and models the problem as a cross-modal feature fusion. In this paper, we propose a unified and efficient Crossmodality Guided to not only effectively recalibrate RGB feature responses, but also to distill accurate depth information via multiple stages and aggregate the two recalibrated representations alternatively.
