Researchers use AI to brighten ultra-low light images without adding noise

Researchers with the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and Intel have developed a deep neural network that brightens ultra-low light images without adding noise and other artifacts. The network was trained using 5,094 raw short-exposure low-light and long-exposure image pairs--the end result is a system that automatically brightens images at a much higher quality than traditional processing options. The deep learning system was detailed in a newly published study that points out the limita...
