Rethinking the Atmospheric Scattering-driven Attention via Channel and Gamma Correction Priors for Low-Light Image Enhancement

This is the implementation of CPGA-Net+ based on Pytorch.

Abstract

Low-light image enhancement remains a critical challenge in computer vision, and so does the lightweight design for edge devices with the computational burden for deep learning models. In this article, we introduce an extended version of CPGA-Net, termed CPGA-Net+, which incorporates an attention mechanism driven by a reformulated Atmospheric Scattering Model and effectively addresses both global and local image processing through Plug-in Attention with gamma correction. These innovations enable CPGA-Net+ to achieve superior performance on image enhancement tasks, surpassing lightweight state-of-the-art methods with high efficiency. Our results demonstrate the model's effectiveness and show the potential applications in resource-constrained environments.

Details

Preparation

  1. clone the project
  2. install Pytorch
  3. execute the following instruction:
    // python=3.8
    pip install -r requirements.txt
  4. make sure these modules have been successfully installed

Usage

Data Preparation

Prepare your data, split it into Low-Light images and Normal Light images, both image folder should be paired and the same pair of images should be have the same name. It should be almost the same as original listing way.

Train

python train.py\
    "--epochs" "200"\
    "--net_name" "CPGA-Net+_test"\
    "--use_gpu" "true"\
    "--gpu" "0"

    "--lr" "1e-3"\

    //If you want to try CPGA-Net+    
    "--plus" "true"\
    "--is_cpgablks" "true"\

    // Training Settings for CPGA-Net+
    //      If skipSST = False (default), it will start Self-supervised training.
    //      If crop_size = None (default), it will use the entire resolution for training without cropping.
    "--skipSST" "true"\
    "--crop_size" "256"\

    // --ckpt "weights\lolv2-syn\enhance_lolv1.pkl"

If you want to modify more settings of our network (CPGA-Net+), please check config.py

Dataset Selection

For LOLv2

lolv2 root path need only

    "--ori_data_path" "LOLv2_PATH"\
    "--ll_data_path" "LOLv2_PATH"\

    "--val_ll_data_path" "LOLv2_PATH"\

    "--dataset_type" LOL-v2-real"//"LOL-v2-real" or "LOL-v2-Syn"

For Unpaired Data (DEMO: LIME, MEF, DICM, NPE, VV)

    "--val_ori_data_path" "Unpaired_PATH"\
    "--val_ll_data_path" "Unpaired_PATH" \

    "--dataset_type" LOL-v1",

For your custom images dir (Demo)

    "--val_ori_data_path" d:/datasets/custom/testing/INPUT_IMAGES",\
    "--val_ll_data_path" d:/datasets/custom/testing/INPUT_IMAGES",\

    "--dataset_type" LOL-v1",

Weights

Three weights according to three paired datasets are provided.

// LOLv1
--ckpt "weights\lolv2-syn\enhance_lolv1.pkl"
// LOLv2-real
--ckpt "weights\lolv2-real\enhance_lolv2real.pkl"
// LOLv2-syn & 5 sets of unpaired data
--ckpt "weights\lolv2-syn\enhance_lolv2syn.pkl"
