Color-wise Attention Network for Low-light Image Enhancement
arXiv:1911.08681
Abstract
Absence of nearby light sources while capturing an image will degrade the visibility and quality of the captured image, making computer vision tasks difficult. In this paper, a color-wise attention network (CWAN) is proposed for low-light image enhancement based on convolutional neural networks. Motivated by the human visual system when looking at dark images, CWAN learns an end-to-end mapping between low-light and enhanced images while searching for any useful color cues in the low-light image to aid in the color enhancement process. Once these regions are identified, CWAN attention will be mainly focused to synthesize these local regions, as well as the global image. Both quantitative and qualitative experiments on challenging datasets demonstrate the advantages of our method in comparison with state-of-the-art methods.
