Abstract

When capturing images in low-light conditions, the images often suffer from low visibility, which not only degrades the visual aesthetics of images, but also significantly degenerates the performance of many computer vision algorithms. In this paper, we propose a self-supervised low-light image enhancement framework (SID-NISM), which consists of two components, a Self-supervised Image Decomposition Network (SID-Net) and a Nonlinear Illumination Saturation Mapping function (NISM). As a self-supervised network, SID-Net could decompose the given low-light image into its reflectance, illumination and noise directly without any prior training or reference image, which distinguishes it from existing supervised-learning methods greatly. Then, the decomposed illumination map will be enhanced by NISM. Having the restored illumination map, the enhancement can be achieved accordingly. Experiments on several public challenging low-light image datasets reveal that the images enhanced by SID-NISM are more natural and have less unexpected artifacts.
