Abstract
Given the visual resemblance between inverted low-light and hazy images, dehazing principles are borrowed to enhance low-light images. However, the essence of such methods remains unclear, and they are susceptible to over-enhancement. Regarding the above issues, in this letter, we present corresponding solutions. Specifically, we point out that the Haze Formation Model (HFM) used for image dehazing exhibits a Bidirectional Mapping Property (BMP), enabling adjustment of image brightness and contrast. Building upon this property, we give a comprehensive and in-depth theoretical explanation for why dehazing on inverted low-light image is a solution to the image brightness enhancement problem. Further, an Adaptive Full Dynamic Range Mapping (AFDRM) method is then proposed to guide HFM in restoring the visibility of low-light images without inversion, while overcoming the issue of over-enhancement. Extensive experiments validate our proof and demonstrate the efficacy of our method.
