• Abstract: In practical applications, conventional methods generate large volumes of low-light images that require compression for efficient storage and transmission. However, most existing methods either disregard the removal of potential compression artifacts during the enhancement process or fail to establish a unified framework for joint task enhancement of images with varying compression qualities. To solve this problem, we propose the hybrid priors-guided network (HPGN), which enhances compressed low-light images by integrating both compression and illumination priors. Our approach fully utilizes the JPEG quality factor (QF) and DCT quantization matrix (QM) to guide the design of efficient joint task plug-and-play modules. Additionally, we employ a random QF generation strategy to guide model training, enabling a single model to enhance images across different compression levels. Experimental results confirm the superiority of our proposed method.

  Whole Slide Images in digital histopathology pose significant storage, transmission, and computational efficiency challenges. Standard compression methods, such as JPEG, reduce file sizes but fail to preserve fine-grained phenotypic details critical for downstream tasks. In this work, we repurpose autoencoders (AEs) designed for Latent Diffusion Models as an efficient learned compression framework for pathology images.
