• Abstract: Photography during night or in dark conditions typically suffers from noise, low light and blurring issues due to the dim environment and the common use of long exposure. Although Deblurring and Low-light Image Enhancement (LLIE) are related under these conditions, most approaches in image restoration solve these tasks separately. In this paper, we present an efficient and robust neural network for multi-task low-light image restoration. Instead of following the current tendency of Transformer-based models, we propose new attention mechanisms to enhance the receptive field of efficient CNNs. Our method reduces the computational costs in terms of parameters and MAC operations compared to previous methods. Our model, DarkIR, achieves new state-of-the-art results on the popular LOLBlur, LOLv2 and Real-LOLBlur datasets, being able to generalize on real-world night and dark images.

  We propose a novel transformer-based joint learning framework, named DAP-LED.

The key insight is to leverage CLIP to adaptively learn the degradation levels from images at night.

  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.

  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.

ORF first estimates the illumination information to light up the low-light image and then restores the corruption to produce the enhanced image. Our algorithm, Retinexformer, significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods on thirteen benchmarks.

  We show how to use a combination of three techniques to allow the existing photometric losses to work for both day and nighttime images. First, we introduce a per-pixel neural intensity transformation to compensate for the light changes that occur between successive frames. Second, we predict a per-pixel residual flow map that we use to correct the reprojection correspondences induced by the estimated ego-motion and depth.
