统一解决背光与低光图像增强问题,无需配对数据。
UBLLIE: Unified Backlight and Low-Light Image Enhancement

- 用CLIP提示学习实现无监督语义引导增强
- 对BAID、LOL等数据集均超越现有方法
- 适合真实场景复杂光照下的图像修复
背光和低光图像常因严重曝光失衡或全局欠曝,严重影响视觉感知与下游计算机视觉任务。本文提出一种统一的无监督增强框架,不依赖成对真实图像数据。通过CLIP引导的提示学习,利用学习到的正负文本提示进行语义监督。设计对称残差U-Net骨干网络,并引入空洞空间金字塔池化模块,以捕捉多尺度上下文信息,实现在空间异质光照下的自适应校正。训练中,增强网络由基于CLIP的语义相似性损失指导,并通过迭代提示优化机制进一步精炼。在包含BAID、Backlit300、LOL和VE-LOL-L的成对与非成对数据集上进行大量实验,结果表明本框架在保真度、感知质量与泛化能力上均持续优于当前最先进方法。此外,研究强调了背光增强需更强基准评估协议,该领域仍相对未被充分探索。所提框架为多样化光照条件下真实世界图像增强提供了一种鲁棒、可扩展的解决方案。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Backlit and low-light images often suffer from severe exposure imbalance or global underexposure, presenting significant challenges for both visual perception and downstream computer vision tasks. In this paper, we propose a unified, unsupervised enhancement framework that addresses both types of degradation without relying on paired ground-truth data. Our approach builds on CLIP-guided prompt learning to semantically supervise enhancement using learned positive and negative textual prompts. To improve the quality of our improvements over prior work, we design a symmetric residual U-Net backbone augmented with an Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling module. This architecture captures multi-scale contextual information, enabling adaptive correction under spatially heterogeneous illumination. During training, the enhancement network is guided by CLIP-based semantic similarity losses and refined via an iterative prompt optimization mechanism. Extensive experiments on both paired and unpaired datasets, including BAID, Backlit300, LOL, and VE-LOL-L, demonstrate that our framework consistently outperforms state-of-the-art supervised and unsupervised methods in terms of fidelity, perceptual quality, and generalization. Furthermore, our work emphasizes the need for stronger benchmarking protocols for backlit enhancement, a relatively underexplored area. The proposed framework provides a robust, scalable solution for real-world illumination enhancement across diverse lighting conditions.
