- 适合自动驾驶与城市监控中的夜视增强,无需真实标注数据。
低光交通图像增强对自动驾驶、智能交通和城市监控的可靠感知至关重要。夜间及昏暗场景常因光照不足、噪声、运动模糊、光照不均及车灯/路灯眩光导致可见度差,影响目标检测与场景理解。为此,我们提出一种全无监督的多阶段深度学习框架,将图像分解为光照与反射分量,通过三个专用模块逐步优化:(1) 光照自适应模块,实现全局与局部亮度校正;(2) 反射率恢复模块,利用空间-通道注意力抑制噪声并恢复结构细节;(3) 过曝补偿模块,重建饱和区域并平衡场景亮度。网络采用自监督重建、反射率平滑性、感知一致性及领域感知正则化损失进行训练,无需成对真值图像。在通用与交通专用数据集上的实验表明,本方法在定量指标(PSNR、SSIM、LPIPS、NIQE)和定性视觉质量上均显著优于当前最优方法。该方法有效提升可见性,保持结构完整性,增强真实低光交通场景中下游任务的可靠性。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Enhancing low-light traffic images is crucial for reliable perception in autonomous driving, intelligent transportation, and urban surveillance systems. Nighttime and dimly lit traffic scenes often suffer from poor visibility due to low illumination, noise, motion blur, non-uniform lighting, and glare from vehicle headlights or street lamps, which hinder tasks such as object detection and scene understanding. To address these challenges, we propose a fully unsupervised multi-stage deep learning framework for low-light traffic image enhancement. The model decomposes images into illumination and reflectance components, progressively refined by three specialized modules: (1) Illumination Adaptation, for global and local brightness correction; (2) Reflectance Restoration, for noise suppression and structural detail recovery using spatial-channel attention; and (3) Over-Exposure Compensation, for reconstructing saturated regions and balancing scene luminance. The network is trained using self-supervised reconstruction, reflectance smoothness, perceptual consistency, and domain-aware regularization losses, eliminating the need for paired ground-truth images. Experiments on general and traffic-specific datasets demonstrate superior performance over state-of-the-art methods in both quantitative metrics (PSNR, SSIM, LPIPS, NIQE) and qualitative visual quality. Our approach enhances visibility, preserves structure, and improves downstream perception reliability in real-world low-light traffic scenarios.
