• Abstract: Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) is critical in computer vision. Existing LLIE methods often fail to discover the underlying relationships between different sub-components, causing the loss of complementary information between multiple modules and network layers, ultimately resulting in the loss of image details. To beat this shortage, we design a hierarchical mutual Enhancement via a Cross Attention transformer (ECAFormer), which introduces an architecture that enables concurrent propagation and interaction of multiple features. The model preserves detailed information by introducing a Dual Multi-head self-attention (DMSA), which leverages visual and semantic features across different scales, allowing them to guide and complement each other. Besides, a Cross-Scale DMSA block is introduced to capture the residual connection, integrating cross-layer information to further enhance image detail. Experimental results show that ECAFormer reaches competitive performance across multiple benchmarks, yielding nearly a 3% improvement in PSNR over the suboptimal method, demonstrating the effectiveness of information interaction in LLIE.

  This paper proposes a novel semi-supervised Multi-Scale Uncertainty and Cross-Teacher-Student Attention (MUCA) model for RS image semantic segmentation tasks. MUCA constrains the consistency among feature maps at different layers of the network by introducing a multi-scale uncertainty consistency regularization. MUCA utilizes a Cross-Teacher-Student attention mechanism to guide the student network, guiding the student network to construct more discriminative feature representations.
