Low-Light Image and Video Enhancement Using Deep Learning: A Survey

This repository provides：

1) a unified online platform, LLIE-Platform http://mc.nankai.edu.cn/ll/, that covers many popular deep learning-based LLIE methods, of which the results can be produced through a user-friendly web interface, contains a low-light image and video dataset.

2) a new dataset LLIV-Phone https://drive.google.com/file/d/1QS4FgT5aTQNYy-eHZ_A89rLoZgx_iysR/view?usp=sharing, in which the images and videos are taken by various phones' cameras under diverse illumination conditions and scenes, and

3) collects deep learning-based low-light image and video enhancement methods, datasets, and evaluation metrics.

More content and details can be found in our Survey Paper: Low-Light Image and Video Enhancement Using Deep Learning: A Survey.

我们提供中文翻译版：基于深度学习的低照度图像与视频增强综述.

We provide the comparison results on the real low-light videos taken by different mobile phones’ cameras at YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Elo9TkrG5Oo&t=6s.

✌We will periodically update the content. Welcome to let us know if we miss your work that is published in top-tier Journal or conference. We will add it.
