Abstract:
Low-light image enhancement is an important task in computer vision, often made challenging by the limitations of image sensors, such as noise, low contrast, and color distortion. These challenges are further exacerbated by the computational demands of processing spatial dependencies under such conditions. We present a novel transformer-based framework that enhances efficiency by utilizing depthwise separable convolutions instead of conventional approaches. Additionally, an original feed-forward network design reduces the computational overhead while maintaining high performance. Experimental results demonstrate that this method achieves competitive results, providing a practical and effective solution for enhancing images captured in low-light environments.

Convolution Properties II
The width property indicates that if the durations of input signals are T1 and T2, then the width of the output response equals the sum of both durations, irrespective of the shapes of the two functions. For instance, convolving two rectangular pulses with durations of 2 seconds and 1 second results in a function with a width of 3 seconds.
The area property asserts that the area under the...
