针对手机端弱光图像增强,提出基于YUV空间的轻量级新方法。
Revisiting Lightweight Low-Light Image Enhancement: From a YUV Color Space Perspective
- 利用YUV空间特性分治处理亮度与色彩通道
- 在多个数据集上参数更少却效果更优
- 适合移动端部署,兼顾速度与画质
在移动互联网时代,轻量级弱光图像增强(L3IE)对手机设备至关重要,但视觉质量与模型紧凑性之间始终存在权衡。现有方法虽采用解耦策略(如Retinex理论和YUV变换)简化结构,但因忽略通道特异性退化模式与跨通道交互,性能受限。本文通过频域分析证实YUV空间在L3IE中的优势:亮度通道(Y)主要损失低频信息,色度通道(UV)则受高频噪声干扰。据此提出新型YUV范式:采用双流全局-局部注意力模块恢复Y通道,引入Y引导的局部感知频率注意力模块处理UV通道,并设计引导式交互模块融合特征。大量实验表明,该模型在多个基准上达到新最优,以更少参数实现更佳视觉效果。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
In the current era of mobile internet, Lightweight Low-Light Image Enhancement (L3IE) is critical for mobile devices, which faces a persistent trade-off between visual quality and model compactness. While recent methods employ disentangling strategies to simplify lightweight architectural design, such as Retinex theory and YUV color space transformations, their performance is fundamentally limited by overlooking channel-specific degradation patterns and cross-channel interactions. To address this gap, we perform a frequency-domain analysis that confirms the superiority of the YUV color space for L3IE. We identify a key insight: the Y channel primarily loses low-frequency content, while the UV channels are corrupted by high-frequency noise. Leveraging this finding, we propose a novel YUV-based paradigm that strategically restores channels using a Dual-Stream Global-Local Attention module for the Y channel, a Y-guided Local-Aware Frequency Attention module for the UV channels, and a Guided Interaction module for final feature fusion. Extensive experiments validate that our model establishes a new state-of-the-art on multiple benchmarks, delivering superior visual quality with a significantly lower parameter count.
