New BC-IHV color space enhances low-light image quality

Researchers have introduced BC-IHV, a novel Box-Cox polar color space designed to improve low-light image enhancement (LLIE). This new representation allows for a more balanced expansion of dark ranges and gradient conditioning compared to traditional linear or logarithmic methods. The proposed Structure-Anchored Rectified Flow (SA-RF) framework, incorporating BC-IHV, demonstrates consistent reconstruction and perceptual advantages over state-of-the-art methods in experiments.

    BC-IHV: Conditioning the Color Space for Stable Rectified-Flow Low-Light Enhancement

    arXiv:2608.21847v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) must correct ambiguous exposure without overwriting structure already supported by the input. Generative transport can model exposure ambiguity; however, its flexibility may also alter observable g…
