SufrinNet: Toward Sufficient Cross-View Interaction for Stereo Image Enhancement in The Dark
share
Low-light stereo image enhancement (LLSIE) is a relatively new task to enhance the quality of visually unpleasant stereo images captured in dark conditions. So far, very few studies on deep LLSIE have been explored due to certain challenging issues, i.e., the task has not been well addressed, and current methods clearly suffer from two shortages: 1) insufficient cross-view interaction; 2) lacking long-range dependency for intra-view learning. In this paper, we therefore propose a novel LLSIE model, termed Sufficient Cross-View Interaction Network (SufrinNet). To be specific, we present sufficient inter-view interaction module (SIIM) to enhance the information exchange across views. SIIM not only discovers the cross-view correlations at different scales, but also explores the cross-scale information interaction. Besides, we present a spatial-channel information mining block (SIMB) for intra-view feature extraction, and the benefits are twofold. One is the long-range dependency capture to build spatial long-range relationship, and the other is expanded channel information refinement that enhances information flow in channel dimension. Extensive experiments on Flickr1024, KITTI 2012, KITTI 2015 and Middlebury datasets show that our method obtains better illumination adjustment and detail recovery, and achieves SOTA performance compared to other related methods. Our codes, datasets and models will be publicly available.
