Low-light imaging often introduces color bias caused by the low signal-to-noise ratio and the image formation process. Although recent low-light image enhancement methods have achieved strong brightness recovery, faithful color restoration remains challenging, manifesting as overall color bias together with local under- and over-saturation.

IDM-Net is a lightweight Illumination-Decoupled Modulation Network designed for low-light image enhancement. It uses a dual-encoder architecture: a structure encoder extracts multi-scale appearance features from the RGB image, while a lightweight illumination encoder learns illumination priors from the decoupled luminance channel. An Illumination-Guided Modulation module injects these priors into the decoder via spatially adaptive affine modulation, and a Feature Refinement Block progressively suppresses artifacts and recovers fine details, achieving competitive performance on standard benchmarks with good balance between quality and efficiency.
arXiv:2608. 10798v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Most image colorization systems operate in $Lab$ space by predicting chroma ($ab$) while preserving an input-derived luminance channel ($L$).
Raw images inherently suffer from noise due to the stochastic nature of light and sensor hardware imperfections. As real photon counts fall, the ratio of this noise to the signal degrades; consequently, for low-light conditions, robust denoising is especially vital for high-quality results.
The paper proposes replacing traditional one-dimensional correlated color temperature (CCT) interpolation with a two-dimensional chromaticity approach for in-camera colorimetric mapping. By training a lightweight multi-layer perceptron (MLP) on a lightbox calibration that includes representative LED sources, the method achieves a 22% average reduction in angular reproduction error across diverse LED lighting. It remains compatible with conventional illuminants, handles multi-illuminant scenes, and can be deployed in real time with minimal computational overhead.

The paper introduces Colorist, a data‑augmentation method that uses classical statistical color matching to generate domain‑shifted medical images. By applying global mean‑standard‑deviation matching in RGB space, Colorist creates structurally intact variations without neural networks, outperforming deep generative models in fidelity and color alignment. Across multiple medical imaging datasets, it boosts balanced accuracy by up to 9% over state‑of‑the‑art domain‑generalization regularizers and 13% over no augmentation, while reducing computational cost and preserving anatomical structure.
The paper introduces a 2D Gaussian Splatting pipeline that renders a dominant-eye RGB image and depth proxy, then reprojects and selectively patches the affiliated eye to reduce redundant work. By reusing alpha-blending weights and generating adaptive regions of interest, the method cuts sequential binocular rendering time by 15.5% to 28.8% and GPU memory by 6% to 11% on several datasets, with minimal quality loss. It demonstrates a practical efficiency‑quality trade‑off for static‑scene stereo rendering and suggests further evaluation on dynamic scenes and VR hardware.
