Low-light image enhancement algorithms (LIEAs) aim to improve the visibility of images captured under poor illumination. However, the enhancement process often introduces artifacts such as noise amplification, color shift, structural damage, and over-exposure, which degrade the perceptual quality of the enhanced images.

Low-light image enhancement (LLIE) methods involve tunable parameters that are typically fixed, often leading to performance degradation when applied across scenes. Manually selecting the best configuration, however, can be time-consuming and not always practical.
