- 适合需要精细调控夜间成像质量的摄影师与算法研究者。
摄影是用光作画的艺术,但夜间场景常受多重退化影响:强烈光晕遮蔽场景结构,而低光区域则陷入噪声。传统方法孤立处理这些问题,忽视其内在关联。为此,我们提出LUCID,一种将夜间图像修复重构为连续可控过程的统一框架。该框架包含两个协同组件:去光晕模块剥离光学伪影以提供可靠结构引导;扩散驱动模块利用生成先验重建清晰、曝光合理的图像。关键创新在于引入新型四模式训练策略,通过无分类器引导(CFG)实现用户对光晕、鬼影及光源的精细控制,并支持通过连续曝光调节实现高动态范围(HDR)重建。大量实验证明,LUCID在多种真实夜间场景中持续优于现有先进方法。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Photography is the art of painting with light, yet nighttime scenes are shaped by competing degradations: intense flares obscure scene structure, while photon-limited regions collapse into noise. Conventional approaches address these factors in isolation, overlooking the fact that these degradations are fundamentally entangled. To bridge this gap, we introduce LUCID, a unified framework that reframes nighttime restoration as a continuous and controllable process rather than a fixed correction. We decompose nighttime restoration into two cooperative components: a flare disentanglement module that lifts the 'curtain' of optical artifacts to provide reliable structural guidance, and a diffusion-driven module that leverages generative priors to reconstruct clean and well-exposed imagery. Crucially, LUCID introduces explicit controllability through a novel four-mode training strategy, enabling users to steer the restoration process via classifier-free guidance (CFG) and allowing selective control over light sources and their associated flare and ghosting artifacts, while also supporting high dynamic range (HDR) reconstruction through continuous exposure control. Extensive experiments demonstrate that LUCID consistently outperforms state-of-the-art methods across diverse real-world nighttime scenarios.
