TL;DR
This paper introduces a novel color space called HVI for low-light image enhancement, which reduces artifacts better than existing methods, and a new network CIDNet that effectively leverages this space to improve image quality.
Contribution
The paper proposes the HVI color space and CIDNet, a novel approach that outperforms existing LLIE methods by reducing color bias and artifacts in low-light images.
Findings
HVI space reduces red and black artifacts effectively.
CIDNet outperforms state-of-the-art methods on 10 datasets.
HVI with CIDNet achieves superior visual quality in low-light images.
Abstract
Low-Light Image Enhancement (LLIE) is a crucial computer vision task that aims to restore detailed visual information from corrupted low-light images. Many existing LLIE methods are based on standard RGB (sRGB) space, which often produce color bias and brightness artifacts due to inherent high color sensitivity in sRGB. While converting the images using Hue, Saturation and Value (HSV) color space helps resolve the brightness issue, it introduces significant red and black noise artifacts. To address this issue, we propose a new color space for LLIE, namely Horizontal/Vertical-Intensity (HVI), defined by polarized HS maps and learnable intensity. The former enforces small distances for red coordinates to remove the red artifacts, while the latter compresses the low-light regions to remove the black artifacts. To fully leverage the chromatic and intensity information, a novel Color and…
