Continuous Exposure for Extreme Low-Light Imaging
@inproceedings{Neiterman2020ContinuousEF, title={Continuous Exposure for Extreme Low-Light Imaging}, author={Evgeny Hershkovitch Neiterman and Michael Klyuchka and Gil Ben-Artzi}, year={2020} }
We consider the problem of enhancing an underexposed dark image captured in a very low-light environment where details cannot be detected. Existing methods learn to adjust the input image’s exposure to a predetermined value. In practice, however, the optimal enhanced exposure varies from one input image to another, and as a result, the enhanced images may contain visual artifacts such as low-contrast or dark areas. We address this limitation by intro-ducing a deep learning model that allows the…

A pipeline for processing low-light images is developed, based on end-to-end training of a fully-convolutional network that operates directly on raw sensor data and replaces much of the traditional image processing pipeline, which tends to perform poorly on such data.
