受基因演化启发,动态调整参数提升暗光图像增强效果
PDE: Gene Effect Inspired Parameter Dynamic Evolution for Low-light Image Enhancement
- 用基因突变与重组思想设计参数动态演化机制
- 在多个数据集上实现更优的亮度恢复与噪声抑制
- 适合需要自适应参数调整的图像增强任务
低光照图像增强(LLIE)是计算摄影的基础任务,旨在改善光照、降低噪声并提升图像质量。尽管近期研究聚焦于构建日益复杂的神经网络模型,我们观察到一个奇特现象:将部分参数重置为随机值,反而能提升某些图像的增强性能。受生物基因启发,我们将此现象称为‘基因效应’。该效应限制了模型表现,因为随机参数有时甚至优于训练所得参数,阻碍模型充分释放潜力。本文探究其成因并提出解决方案。基于观察,我们认为基因效应源于静态参数,如同固定基因配置在环境变化时变得不适应。受生物进化启发,我们提出参数动态演化(PDE),通过参数正交生成技术模拟基因突变与重组,使模型能适应不同图像,缓解基因效应。实验验证了方法的有效性,代码将公开。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) is a fundamental task in computational photography, aiming to improve illumination, reduce noise, and enhance image quality. While recent advancements focus on designing increasingly complex neural network models, we observe a peculiar phenomenon: resetting certain parameters to random values unexpectedly improves enhancement performance for some images. Drawing inspiration from biological genes, we term this phenomenon the gene effect. The gene effect limits enhancement performance, as even random parameters can sometimes outperform learned ones, preventing models from fully utilizing their capacity. In this paper, we investigate the reason and propose a solution. Based on our observations, we attribute the gene effect to static parameters, analogous to how fixed genetic configurations become maladaptive when environments change. Inspired by biological evolution, where adaptation to new environments relies on gene mutation and recombination, we propose parameter dynamic evolution (PDE) to adapt to different images and mitigate the gene effect. PDE employs a parameter orthogonal generation technique and the corresponding generated parameters to simulate gene recombination and gene mutation, separately. Experiments validate the effectiveness of our techniques. The code will be released to the public.
