BlindPSNR: A No-Reference Fidelity Predictor for Low-Light Image Enhancement

- 用窗口交叉注意力融合原图与增强图,通过异方差回归预测保真度。
- 在基准上准确率从54.4%提升至89.5%,误差降低至0.026 dB。
- 适合需要自动调参的低光图像增强应用,尤其无真实参考时。
低光图像增强(LLIE)方法通常包含可调参数,但这些参数常被固定,导致跨场景性能下降。手动选择最佳配置耗时且不实用。峰值信噪比(PSNR)是自动化参数选择的理想保真度指标,但其需真实参考图像,通常不可得。据我们所知,尚无基于学习的无参考PSNR预测方法用于低光图像增强;现有无参考图像质量评估(NR-IQA)方法侧重感知质量而非信号保真度,测试的七种基线在我们的基准上均达到0%的顶级选择准确率。利用成对训练数据,真实PSNR可解析计算,提供精确监督而无需额外教师网络。基于此,我们提出BlindPSNR,一种轻量级无参考网络,通过窗口化交叉注意力融合增强图像与低光输入,并采用异方差回归估计PSNR。相比标量回归基线(54.4%的顶级准确率),BlindPSNR将准确率提升至89.5%,遗憾值从1.62 dB降至0.026 dB,且在未见数据集上具有良好泛化性(SRCC = 0.61–0.67)。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) methods involve tunable parameters that are typically fixed, often leading to performance degradation when applied across scenes. Manually selecting the best configuration, however, can be time-consuming and not always practical. Peak signal-to-noise ratio (PSNR) is the natural fidelity criterion for automating parameter selection, yet it requires a ground-truth reference that is typically unavailable. To our knowledge, no learning-based method addresses no-reference PSNR prediction for low-light image enhancement; the natural surrogate, no-reference image quality assessment (NR-IQA), targets perceptual quality rather than signal fidelity, and all seven baselines we test achieve 0% top-1 selection accuracy on our benchmark. With paired training data, the ground-truth PSNR is analytically computable, providing exact supervision without a separate teacher network. Building on this, we propose BlindPSNR, a lightweight no-reference network that fuses the enhanced image with the degraded low-light input via windowed cross-attention and estimates PSNR through heteroscedastic regression. While a scalar-regression baseline achieves top-1 accuracy of 54.4%, BlindPSNR raises this to 89.5% with regret dropping from 1.62 dB to 0.026 dB, and generalizes to unseen datasets (SRCC = 0.61-0.67).
