Updates

  • 2022.09.30: Upload LOLBlur dataset to BaiduPan (key: dz6u) for quick download in China 🇨🇳
  • 2022.09.27: Upload LOLBlur dataset to Google Drive.
  • 2022.09.27: The code and pre-trained models are released 🤗
  • 2022.07.04: This repo is created.

TODO

  • Built and train a new network for low-light enhancement
  • Add checkpoint of LEDNetGAN (trained with GAN)
  • Add checkpoint of retrained LEDNet (retrained on BasicSR)
  • Add checkpoint of LEDNet in paper

LOL-Blur Dataset

(The datasets are hosted on both Google Drive and BaiduPan)

Dataset Link Number Description
LOL-Blur Google Drive / BaiduPan (key: dz6u) 12,000 A total of 170 videos for training and 30 videos for testing, each of which has 60 frames, amounting to 12,000 paired data. (Note that the first and last 30 frames of each video are NOT consecutive, and their darknesses are simulated differently as well.)
Real-LOL-Blur Google Drive / BaiduPan (key: fh32) 1354 482 real-world night blurry images (from RealBlur-J Dataset) + 872 real-world night blurry images acquired by Sony RX10 IV camera.
[Unfold] for detailed description of each folder in LOL-Blur dataset:
LOL-Blur Description
low_blur low-light blurry images
low_blur_noise low-light blurry and noisy images
low_sharp low-light sharp images
high_sharp_scaled normal-light sharp images with slightly brightness reduced (simulate soft-light scenes)
high_sharp_original normal-light sharp images without brightness reduced

[1] This method use distorted image as reference. Please refer to the paper for details.
[2] Currently, only naive random forest regression is implemented and does not support backward.

Dependencies and Installation

  • Pytorch >= 1.7.1
  • CUDA >= 10.1
  • Other required packages in requirements.txt
# git clone this repository
git clone https://github.com/sczhou/LEDNet
cd LEDNet

# create new anaconda env
conda create -n lednet python=3.8 -y
conda activate lednet

# install python dependencies
pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python basicsr/setup.py develop

Train the Model

Before training, you need to:

Training LEDNet:

# without GAN
python basicsr/train.py -opt options/train_LEDNet.yml

# with GAN
python basicsr/train.py -opt options/train_LEDNetGAN.yml

This project is built on BasicSR, the detailed tutorial on training commands and config settings can be found here.

Quick Inference

  • Download the LEDNet pretrained model from [Release V0.1.0] to the weights folder. You can manually download the pretrained models OR download by runing the following command.

    python scripts/download_pretrained_models.py LEDNet

Inference LEDNet:

# test LEDNet (paper model)
python inference_lednet.py --model lednet --test_path ./inputs

# test retrained LEDNet (higher PSNR and SSIM)
python inference_lednet.py --model lednet_retrain --test_path ./inputs

# test LEDNetGAN
python inference_lednet.py --model lednetgan --test_path ./inputs

The results will be saved in the results folder.

Evaluation

# set evaluation metrics of 'psnr', 'ssim', and 'lpips (vgg)'
python scripts/calculate_iqa_pair.py --result_path 'RESULT_ROOT' --gt_path 'GT_ROOT' --metrics psnr ssim lpips

(The released model was retrained using the BasicSR framework, which makes it easier to use or further develop upon this work. NOTE that the PSNR and SSIM scores of retrained model are higher than the paper model.)

Generate Low-light Images from Your Own Data

  • Download the CE-ZeroDCE pretrained model from [Release V0.1.0] to the weights folder. You can manually download the pretrained models OR download by runing the following command.

    python scripts/download_pretrained_models.py CE-ZeroDCE

Run low-light generation:

python scripts/generate_low_light_imgs.py --test_path 'IMG_ROOT' --result_path 'RESULT_ROOT' --model_path './weights/ce_zerodce.pth'

Inference with Cog

To run containerized local inference with LEDNet using Cog, run the following commands in the project root:

cog run python basicsr/setup.py develop
cog predict -i image=@'path/to/input_image.jpg'

You can view this demo running as an API here on Replicate.
