  • 通过全局到局部的两阶段优化,直接提升图像可见性。
  • 在六个数据集上达到领先感知质量,推理速度远超传统方法。
  • 适合需要快速、可解释增强的工程应用,如安防与移动摄影。

我们提出ENLIGHT,一种基于感知目标直接优化的快速、免训练低光图像增强框架。与依赖大规模训练数据的深度学习方法不同,ENLIGHT在推理时通过零样本方式优化图像质量。该方法采用两阶段全局到局部优化策略:第一阶段进行全局光照调整,提升可见性的同时保持结构一致性并避免噪声过度增强;第二阶段通过掩码局部优化实现阴影感知增强,仅对低强度区域精细处理,避免过曝。为平衡质量与效率,提出两种模式:Fast模式结合熵、梯度保持和噪声正则化构建多目标函数;Ultrafast模式则通过轻量近似降低计算开销。框架不依赖特定优化器,支持进化算法与轻量局部搜索。在BAID、Backlit300、LIME、MEF、NPE、DICM六个数据集上的实验表明,ENLIGHT在感知质量(MUSIQ、NIQE、BRISQUE)上表现优异,且推理时间显著更短。定性结果进一步显示对比度改善、结构细节保留及噪声可控放大,证明其是学习型方法的实用且可解释替代方案。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We present ENLIGHT, a fast and training free framework for low-light image enhancement based on direct optimization of a perceptual objective. Unlike deep learning approaches that require large scale training data and supervision, ENLIGHT operates in a zero-shot manner by optimizing image quality at inference time. The method employs a two stage global to local optimization strategy. In the first stage, ENLIGHT performs global illumination adjustment to improve visibility while maintaining structural consistency and avoiding excessive noise enhancement. In the second stage, a shadow aware refinement selectively improves low-intensity regions through masked local optimization, enhancing visibility without overexposure. To balance quality and efficiency, we introduce two modes: Fast, which uses a multi-objective formulation combining entropy, gradient preservation, and noise regularization, and Ultrafast, which reduces computational cost via a lightweight approximation of the same objective. The framework is optimizer agnostic and supports both evolutionary and lightweight local search methods. Experiments on BAID, Backlit300, LIME, MEF, NPE, and DICM demonstrate that ENLIGHT achieves competitive perceptual quality (MUSIQ, NIQE, BRISQUE) with significantly lower inference time. Qualitative results further show improved contrast, preserved structural details, and controlled noise amplification, making ENLIGHT a practical and interpretable alternative to learning based methods.
