Zero-TCE: Zero Reference Tri-Curve Enhancement for Low-Light Images by Chengkang Yu, Guangliang Han, Mengyang Pan, Xiaotian Wu, Anping Deng

“…Addressing the common issues of low brightness, poor contrast, and blurred details in images captured under conditions such as night, backlight, and adverse weather, we propose a zero-reference dual-path network based on multi-scale depth curve estimation for low-light image enhancement. Utilizing a no-reference loss function, the enhancement of low-light images is converted into depth curve estimation, with three curves fitted to enhance the dark details of the image: a brightness adjustment curve (LE-curve), a contrast enhancement curve (CE-curve), and a multi-scale feature fusion curve (MF-curve). …”
