A Novel Approach For Low
A Novel Approach For Low
Abstract
Introduction
In this context, our approach takes a departure from the reliance on depth
estimation. Instead, we introduce a method that respects the fundamental
assumptions underlying image degradation due to low light or low contrast. By
artificially under-exposing the original image through a sequence of gamma-
correction operations, we generate a series of multiply exposed images. These
images, exhibiting varied exposure levels, serve as the basis for our proposed
enhancement technique.
The core innovation lies in the subsequent merging of these artificially under-
exposed images using a multi-scale Laplacian blending scheme. This blending
technique operates across multiple scales, allowing for the fusion of information
from different exposure levels while preserving important image details.
The primary advantage of our method lies in its ability to effectively mitigate
the impact of low-light conditions without the need for costly depth map
refinement processes. Moreover, by sidestepping the reliance on accurate depth
estimation, our technique proves robust in challenging scenarios where existing
methods often falter.
This paper presents a detailed exposition of our novel approach, elucidating its
theoretical underpinnings and providing comprehensive insights into the
experimental evaluation. Both qualitative and quantitative analyses are
undertaken to assess the efficacy of our technique in comparison to established
image enhancement methodologies.
Through this research endeavor, we aim to showcase the potential and viability
of the proposed multi-scale Laplacian blending scheme as a pioneering tool for
image enhancement, particularly in scenarios characterized by low-light
conditions or inadequate contrast. The subsequent sections will delve into the
technical aspects, methodology, experimental setup, and the results obtained,
thereby illustrating the merits and efficacy of our approach in revitalizing
images suffering from visual degradation due to low-light environments.

Disadvantages
This work presents a new image enhance technique that can remove the
visual degradation due to blur or light without relying on the inversion of
a physical model of this formation, but respecting its main underlying
assumptions. Hence, the proposed technique avoids the need of
estimating depth in the scene, as well as costly depth map refinement
processes. To achieve this goal, the original low contrast or low light
image is first artificially under-exposed by means of a sequence of
gamma-correction operations. The resulting set of multiply exposed
images is merged into a enhanced result through a multi-scale Laplacian
blending scheme. A detailed experimental evaluation is presented in
terms of both qualitative and quantitative analysis. The obtained results
indicate that the fusion of artificially under-exposed images can
effectively remove the effect of low light, even in challenging situations
where other current image enhancing techniques fail to produce good-
quality results.
