FLOL: Fast Baselines for Real-World Low-Light Enhancement

Juan C. Benito, Daniel Feijoo, Alvaro Garcia, Marcos V. Conde

Low-Light Image Enhancement (LLIE) is a key task in computational photography and imaging. The problem of enhancing images captured during night or in dark environments has been well-studied in the image signal processing literature. However, current deep learning-based solutions struggle with efficiency and robustness in real-world scenarios (e.g. scenes with noise, saturated pixels, bad illumination). We propose a lightweight neural network that combines image processing in the frequency and spatial domains. Our method, FLOL+, is one of the fastest models for this task, achieving state-of-the-art results on popular real scenes datasets such as LOL and LSRW. Moreover, we are able to process 1080p images under 12ms. Code and models at this https URL
