MSF-ACA: Low-Light Image Enhancement Network Based on Multi-Scale Feature Fusion and Adaptive Contrast Adjustment by Zhesheng Cheng, Yingdan Wu, Fang Tian, Zaiwen Feng, Yan Li

“…Focus is placed on designing the local–global image feature fusion module (LG-IFFB) and the adaptive image contrast enhancement module (AICEB), in which the LG-IFFB adopts the local–global dual-branching structure to extract multi-scale image features, and utilizes the element-by-element multiplication method to fuse the local details with the global illumination distribution to alleviate the problem of serious loss of image details, while the AICEB incorporates linear contrast enhancement and confidence adaptive stopping mechanism, which dynamically adjusts the computational depth according to the confidence of the feature map, balancing the contrast enhancement and computational efficiency. …”
