1. Dependencies

• Python3
• PyTorch>=1.0
• OpenCV-Python, TensorboardX
• NVIDIA GPU+CUDA

2. Network Architecture

3. Data Preparation

3.1. Training dataset

• 485 low/high-light image pairs from our485 of LOL dataset, each low image of which is augmented by our exposure_augment.py to generate 8 images under different exposures. (Download Link for Augmented LOL)
• To train the MECAN (if it is desired), 559 randomly-selected multi-exposure sequences from SICE are adopted (Download Link for a resized version).

3.2. Tesing dataset

The images for testing can be downloaded in this link.

4. Usage

4.1. Training

• Multi-exposure data synthesis: python exposure_augment.py
• Train IAN: python train_IAN.py -m IAN --comment IAN_train --batch_size 1 --val_interval 1 --num_epochs 500 --lr 0.001 --no_sche
• Train ANSN: python train_ANSN.py -m1 IAN -m2 ANSN --comment ANSN_train --batch_size 1 --val_interval 1 --num_epochs 500 --lr 0.001 --no_sche -m1w ./checkpoints/IAN_335.pth
• Train CAN: python train_CAN.py -m1 IAN -m3 FuseNet --comment CAN_train --batch_size 1 --val_interval 1 --num_epochs 500 --lr 0.001 --no_sche -m1w ./checkpoints/IAN_335.pth
• Train MECAN on SICE: python train_MECAN.py -m FuseNet --comment MECAN_train --batch_size 1 --val_interval 1 --num_epochs 500 --lr 0.001 --no_sche
• Finetune MECAN on SICE and LOL datasets: python train_MECAN_finetune.py -m FuseNet --comment MECAN_finetune --batch_size 1 --val_interval 1 --num_epochs 500 --lr 1e-4 --no_sche -mw ./checkpoints/FuseNet_MECAN_for_Finetuning_404.pth

4.2. Testing

• [Tips]: Using gamma correction for evaluation with parameter --gc; Show extra intermediate outputs with parameter --save_extra
• Evaluation: python eval_Bread.py -m1 IAN -m2 ANSN -m3 FuseNet -m4 FuseNet --mef --comment Bread+NFM+ME[eval] --batch_size 1 -m1w ./checkpoints/IAN_335.pth -m2w ./checkpoints/ANSN_422.pth -m3w ./checkpoints/FuseNet_MECAN_251.pth -m4w ./checkpoints/FuseNet_NFM_297.pth
• Testing: python test_Bread.py -m1 IAN -m2 ANSN -m3 FuseNet -m4 FuseNet --mef --comment Bread+NFM+ME[test] --batch_size 1 -m1w ./checkpoints/IAN_335.pth -m2w ./checkpoints/ANSN_422.pth -m3w ./checkpoints/FuseNet_MECAN_251.pth -m4w ./checkpoints/FuseNet_NFM_297.pth
• Remove NFM: python test_Bread_NoNFM.py -m1 IAN -m2 ANSN -m3 FuseNet --mef -a 0.10 --comment Bread+ME[test] --batch_size 1 -m1w ./checkpoints/IAN_335.pth -m2w ./checkpoints/ANSN_422.pth -m3w ./checkpoints/FuseNet_MECAN_251.pth
