Internally Referenced Low-Light Enhancement 文章

arXiv:2605.28605v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Self-supervised low-light image enhancement (LLIE) is highly appealing as it eliminates the reliance on external paired data. However, the lack of external references causes networks to struggle with decoupling entangled illumination, delicate textures, and amplified noise. To resolve this challenge, we propose an Internally Referenced LLIE framework that extracts reliable physical and structural references from the degraded input image itself. First, we introduce a local exposure-simulated scheme to extract a low-frequency pseudo ground-truth. This serves as an internal physical reference to guide global illumination estimation and correct color casts. Second, we propose a dual-domain preservation strategy with spatial and spectral constraints to construct internal structural references.
