Enhancing low-light images via text-guided multimodal learning
摘要
Low-light image enhancement is crucial for improving visibility and detail in dark images, which is essential for various computer vision tasks. Traditional methods often introduce artifacts, while deep learning approaches may lack illumination-aware linguistic guidance. This paper introduces NaLSuper, a natural language supervision-driven framework that leverages illumination-descriptive prompts for enhanced brightness and detail recovery. By integrating a Textual Guidance Conditioning Mechanism and an Information Fusion Attention module, NaLSuper achieves deep, multi-scale text-image interactions that continuously condition the enhancement process with illumination-related linguistic priors. Experiments on LOL, SID, and SDSD datasets demonstrate state-of-the-art performance. On the LOL dataset, NaLSuper surpasses previous methods by 0.36dB in Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio and 0.013 in Structural Similarity Index Measure, balancing objective performance with subjective naturalness. Our approach effectively enhances low-light images, providing a robust solution for real-world applications. Code is available at https://github.com/jiahuitang1/NAL.
