提出物理模型与生成训练法,有效去除城市夜景光污染

Deep Light Pollution Removal in Night Cityscape Photographs

  • 构建包含定向光源各向异性扩散和隐藏地表光源导致天光的物理退化模型
  • 在合成-真实数据耦合训练下,显著减少光晕与天光,恢复原始夜空细节
  • 适合需要真实夜景还原的摄影、城市规划与天文观测应用

城市夜间摄影受人工照明引发的光污染严重干扰。远距离散射与空间扩散后,人造光掩盖自然夜光,造成天光泛滥遮蔽星体,光源周围出现光晕和眩光伪影。不同于旨在改善雾霾中可见度的夜间去雾,光污染去除的目标是通过消除地面光源的辐射足迹,恢复纯净夜空本貌。本文引入一种基于物理的退化模型,补充现有夜间去雾方法,新增两项关键要素:(i) 方向性光源的各向异性扩散,(ii) 隐形地表光源(位于天际线后)引起的天光。同时,设计一种结合大规模生成模型与合成-真实数据耦合的训练策略,弥补成对真实数据稀缺问题并提升泛化能力。大量实验表明,所提方法在减少光污染伪影和恢复真实夜景方面显著优于以往夜间修复技术。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Nighttime photography is severely degraded by light pollution induced by pervasive artificial lighting in urban environments. After long-range scattering and spatial diffusion, unwanted artificial light overwhelms natural night luminance, generates skyglow that washes out the view of stars and celestial objects and produces halos and glow artifacts around light sources. Unlike nighttime dehazing, which aims to improve detail legibility through thick air, the objective of light pollution removal is to restore the pristine night appearance by neutralizing the radiative footprint of ground lighting. In this paper we introduce a physically-based degradation model that adds to the previous ones for nighttime dehazing two critical aspects; (i) anisotropic spread of directional light sources, and (ii) skyglow caused by invisible surface lights behind skylines. In addition, we construct a training strategy that leverages large generative model and synthetic-real coupling to compensate for the scarcity of paired real data and enhance generalization. Extensive experiments demonstrate that the proposed formulation and learning framework substantially reduce light pollution artifacts and better recover authentic night imagery than prior nighttime restoration methods.
