Luminance-Aware Statistical Quantization: Unsupervised Hierarchical Learning for Illumination Enhancement

  • 将亮度变化建模为分层幂律分布,用概率采样替代传统像素映射。
  • 无需正常光照参考图像,在多个数据集上均实现更优的增强效果。
  • 适用于有无参考图像场景,兼具领域性能与跨域泛化能力。

低光照图像增强(LLIE)在重建精度与跨场景泛化之间面临持续挑战。现有方法多依赖成对低光/正常光图像的确定性像素映射,忽视真实环境中亮度变化的连续物理过程,导致缺乏正常光参考时性能下降。受自然亮度动态中幂律分布强度变化的启发,本文提出亮度感知统计量化(LASQ),将LLIE重新构想为分层亮度分布上的统计采样过程。LASQ将亮度过渡建模为强度空间中的幂律分布,可通过分层幂函数近似,从而以连续亮度层上的概率采样替代确定性映射。设计扩散前向过程自主发现最优亮度层间过渡路径,实现无需正常光参考的无监督分布模拟。该方法显著提升实际应用中的表现,支持更灵活、通用的光照恢复。同时可适配有正常光参考的场景,在特定数据集上达到更优性能,并在无参考数据集上展现更强泛化能力。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) faces persistent challenges in balancing reconstruction fidelity with cross-scenario generalization. While existing methods predominantly focus on deterministic pixel-level mappings between paired low/normal-light images, they often neglect the continuous physical process of luminance transitions in real-world environments, leading to performance drop when normal-light references are unavailable. Inspired by empirical analysis of natural luminance dynamics revealing power-law distributed intensity transitions, this paper introduces Luminance-Aware Statistical Quantification (LASQ), a novel framework that reformulates LLIE as a statistical sampling process over hierarchical luminance distributions. Our LASQ re-conceptualizes luminance transition as a power-law distribution in intensity coordinate space that can be approximated by stratified power functions, therefore, replacing deterministic mappings with probabilistic sampling over continuous luminance layers. A diffusion forward process is designed to autonomously discover optimal transition paths between luminance layers, achieving unsupervised distribution emulation without normal-light references. In this way, it considerably improves the performance in practical situations, enabling more adaptable and versatile light restoration. This framework is also readily applicable to cases with normal-light references, where it achieves superior performance on domain-specific datasets alongside better generalization-ability across non-reference datasets.
