Datasets

Light-Effects Suppression on Night Data

1. Light-effects data [Dropbox] | [BaiduPan (code:self)]
   Light-effects data is collected from Flickr and by ourselves, with multiple light colors in various scenes.
   

• CVPR2021 Nighttime Visibility Enhancement by Increasing the Dynamic Range and Suppression of Light Effects [Paper]
  Aashish Sharma and Robby T. Tan

2. LED data [Dropbox] | [BaiduPan (code:ledl)]
   We captured images with dimmer light as the reference images.

3. GTA5 nighttime fog [Dropbox] | [BaiduPan (code:67ml)]
   Synthetic GTA5 nighttime fog data.
   

• ECCV2020 Nighttime Defogging Using High-Low Frequency Decomposition and Grayscale-Color Networks [Paper]
  Wending Yan, Robby T. Tan and Dengxin Dai

4. Syn-light-effects [Dropbox] | [BaiduPan (code:synt)]
   Synthetic-light-effects data is the implementation of the paper:
   

• ICCV2017 A New Convolution Kernel for Atmospheric Point Spread Function Applied to Computer Vision [Paper]
  Run the Matlab code to generate Syn-light-effects:

1. Low-Light Enhancement:

Pre-trained Model

1. Download the pre-trained LOL model [Dropbox] | [BaiduPan (code:lol2)], put in ./results/LOL/model/
2. Put the test images in ./LOL/

Low-light Enhancement Test

🔥🔥 Online test: https://replicate.com/cjwbw/night-enhancement

python main.py

Low-light Enhancement Train

1. Download Low-Light Enhancement Dataset

1.1 LOL dataset
"Deep Retinex Decomposition for Low-Light Enhancement", BMVC, 2018. [Baiduyun (code:sdd0)] | [Google Drive]

1.2 LOL_Cap dataset
"Sparse Gradient Regularized Deep Retinex Network for Robust Low-Light Image Enhancement", TIP, 2021. [Baiduyun (code:l9xm)] | [Google Drive]

|-- LOL_Cap
    |-- trainA ## Low 
    |-- trainB ## Normal
    |-- testA  ## Low 
    |-- testB  ## Normal

2. There is no decomposition, light-effects guidance for low-light enhancement.

Acknowledgments

The decomposition code is implemented based on DoubleDIP, Layer Seperation and LIME.
The translation code is implemented based on U-GAT-IT, we would like to thank them.
One trick used in networks.py is to change out = self.UpBlock2(x) to out = (self.UpBlock2(x)+input).tanh() to learn a residual.
